What development is being proposed in Coxhoe and Quarrington Hill
Durham County Council is currently responsible for deciding pla
nning applications for Coxhoe and Quarrington Hill. The County Council is responsible for consulting residents and interested parties on planning proposals and taking views into account in reaching a decision. Such views are one of many 'material planning considerations' the County Council has to take into account . Members of the public can and should make their views known direct to the County Council. Residents are normally consulted on applications by letter or by site notices if they live adjacent or nearby proposed developments. It is the County Council's decision on who it may consult although it is required to consult certain individuals and bodies in particular circumstances.
The Parish Council is a statutory consultee on planning applications. It is consulted at the same time as adjacent occupiers and must make its representations in the same timescales as other consultees. In effect as a publicly elected body, it makes representations on behalf of the community. That it is not to say that it will either support or object to a proposal if it is simply asked to do so. The Parish Council will formally consider proposals that it is consulted on, normally at a monthly Council Meeting. It will then come to a decision on whether to support, object to or offer no objections to a proposal having taken into account the information it has at the time of its decision. As a small local council it does not employ professional planning staff and will reach a view on a proposal on the basis of its experience. The County Council do employ professional planning staff as it is their duty to decide the application and they require professional guidance to meet their responsibilities.
If you have any views to express on any application that may affect you then you should raise these directly with the County Council as they are the decision making body.You can obtain informal help and advice from planning officers at Durham County Council.
