PLANS for 34 homes, including 28 affordable homes, on land to the north of Dunelm Road and the A181 in Thornley, east Durham, will come under the spotlight at a Durham County Council planning committee meeting on Tuesday. Planning officers have recommended the plans be approved, despite objections by residents over highways issues and the potential for disruption during construction. Partner Construction say the development will meet an identified affordable housing requirement in Thornley.
