COUNCILLORS have rejected plans for three homes.

Wear Valley District Council's development control committee refused planning permission for a house in Witton Park, one in Fir Tree and two flats in Coundon.

A two-storey detached house and garage at Alexandra House, Witton Road, Fir Tree, was rejected because the site was in an area of landscape value.

A four-bedroom bungalow at The Green, Witton Park, and plans for two dormer bungalows south of Ship Cottage, Broomside, Coundon, were also rejected.
