Description
Location
The village of Murton is within the administrative area of Durham County Council. It has a population of approximately 4,534 (2011 Census).
The village has a range of facilities and amenities including (but not limited to) Holy Trinity Church, St. Josephs Church, St. Josephs Primary School, Pharmacy, local, regional and national shops and convenience stores, fuel station, Dalton Park shopping outlet, sports clubs and care homes.
It is located to the immediate west of the A19 Trunk Road. Seaham is approximately 3.8-miles to the north-east, Sunderland is approximately 9.9-miles to the north, Durham is approximately 9.8-miles to the west and Hartlepool is approximately 15.1-miles to the south-east.
Communications
Road - The site has road frontage to Barnes Road, to the south, with access also being potentially achievable via Glebe View, to the east, subject to approval. In turn these roads link to the A19, which runs along the eastern edge of the village. The A19 offers connections to Peterlee to the south, and Sunderland to the north.
Rail - Durham Railway Station (approximately 9.8 miles to the south-west) provides routes to Newcastle upon Tyne, to the north and to Darlington, to the south. The newly opened Horden Railway Station also provides coastal services between Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
Air - Newcastle Airport is located approximately 27.7-miles to the north-west. It provides scheduled and chartered flights to a range of national and international destinations.
Site
The site is situated on the outskirts of Murton, with approximately 2 acres of open space directly adjacent to the west. There is housing located to the east of the site under the street name 'Glebe View', as well as parking located to the north which is used for the community centre.
Description
The site comprises an area which was formerly occupied by Murton Primary School with brownfield land situated to the north where the school building was previously located, and greenfield land to the south. Approximately half of the site has been previously developed and the remainder of the site is laid to grass with areas of mature planting/trees. The school was closed in July 2012 and was subsequently demolished in April 2019. The site was covered in top soil and laid to grass.
The site is fairly regular in shape with palisade and timber fencing binding the site. Access is potentially available from the eastern and southern boundaries.
Planning
For the avoidance of doubt, the site is not subject of planning permission for development. It will be the responsibility of the successful party to procure a planning permission for development.
Pre-application Advice Report
On 27th February 2024, Durham County Council Planning Team issued a Pre-application Advice Report, which details the potential for the development of the site.
The report concludes: -
'In conclusion, it is considered that it is likely that residential development could be considered acceptable on the site subject to compliance with policy 6 and 26 of the C D P as well as other relevant polices. Further information can be provided upon receipt of a detailed scheme.'
A copy of the report can be found within the Information Pack.
We would recommend that pre-application advice is sought from the L P A by any interested parties.
