In County Durham, plans have been submitted to build an eco holiday lodge.
The application site, Humble Burn Cottage, Humbleburn Lane, lies to the northwest of the village of Edmondsley, County Durham.
The application site currently consists of a grassed area and planting/vegetation areas with timber outbuildings around the existing pond.
The site was granted planning permission in 2009, and subsequently renewed in 2012, for the erection of a holiday cottage. An application was approved to the north of the pond in 2014 to relocate the holiday cottage. None of these of applications were implemented.
Finally, a multi-faith centre is planned for a Durham cricket ground.
Plans for a multi-faith prayer room, at Durham County Cricket Club, Chester-le-Street, have been submitted to Durham County Council.
The England and Wales Cricket Board has committed to install multi-faith prayer rooms at every county cricket ground before the start of the 2024 season.
The site proposed for the multi-faith room is next to the current media centre and behind one of the southern stands in an unused gravel space.
The proposed multi-faith room is fully accessible for wheelchair users and has an accessible WC space.
The existing gravelled surface surrounding the site will be tarmacked to allow for easy and level access to the ramps with existing curbs sufficient for wheelchair use.
