The decision to grant approval had been made in the knowledge that the application needed to be referred to GONE because whilst the housing development was on brownfield land the site was located outside the recognised residential framework of Trimdon Grange.

Notification had been received from GONE stating that the Secretary of State had decided not to call in the application and the application should remain within Sedgefield Borough Council for a decision. RESOLVED : That the recommendation for approval be endorsed and that the Head of Planning Services be given authority in consultation with the Borough’s Solicitor to enter into a Section 106 Legal Agreement to secure the Heads of Terms set out in the report to the Committee.
