A PLANNING appeal has been lodged following refusal of an application to build six houses on a greenfield site in Hurworth.
Gary Orpen has written to the Secretary of the State for the Environment appealing against Darlington Borough Council's refusal to grant outline planning permission for six homes on a field in Croft Road.
The land lies in an area between the edges of Hurworth village and Hurworth Place, and is bounded to the south by Croft Road, to the west by Hurworth Grange and to the east by residential properties.
Reasons for refusal were that the development was outside the approved boundary and therefore conflicted with the Darlington Local Plan and the Darlington Structure Plan.
