Northgate Conservation Area Appraisal

The Northgate conservation area includes areas of importance to the Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR). Ahead of the S&DR bicentenary celebrations in 2025, marking 200 years since the first passenger railway, a new appraisal of the area is taking place.

The appraisal will consider:

• the special architectural and historic interest of the area
• the current condition of the area, any problems or threats to it, and opportunities for beneficial change
• the relevance of the current boundary line and any suggested changes to it

You can have your say on the appraisal until 5pm on Friday 1 November by visiting https://www.darlington.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/planning/conservation-historical-environment/conservation-areas/

You can also read the appraisal and fill in a feedback form at the Town Hall (by appointment only email [email protected]), and at Darlington and Cockerton libraries.
