Summary
Following a Public Inquiry Spawforths secured planning permission for 400 dwellings at Whitworth Park, Spennymoor on behalf of Barratt Homes. The Inspector concluded that development was necessary to maintain a rolling five year housing land supply and also to provide the increased number of homes to meet the objectives of Growth Point status in the South and East Durham area. The decision confirms significant new investment in a town which has experienced decline over recent years and was identified as a “regeneration area” in the development plan.
