Councillors are to be updated on the progress of the County Durham Plan on the 4th May. A new consultation with residents and other interested parties will commence on the 23rd May, running for six weeks. According to the council:

This is a key stage in the development of the County Durham Plan.  Following previous consultations we are now setting out the strategic options for where new housing, new jobs and new shopping will be located across the County and asking for the community’s views on whether we have made the right choices.

It is essential that you are aware of this as once adopted the County Durham Plan will be the main driver in ensuring that the right development is guided to the right location in order to meet community needs and deliver the future prosperity of County Durham up to and beyond 2030.
