Durham County Council has received a planning application on behalf of Hargreaves Surface Mining Limited to remove the pit heap at Hesleden (see post dated 12 December 2013 for background details).
We feel that the proposals within the application are likely to have a significant impact on our area, especially in Hesleden and Castle Eden, and we need to know how residents feel about this development.
Although most potentially affected residents should have been contacted in writing as part of the public consultation part of the planning process, we strongly urge anyone who has any views or comments in relation to this matter to make their views known to the planning office using the link below.
All relevant details about the application are available to view online at:
