115018826450Durham County CouncilUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope0.1Please give a general description and introduction to your city including your city’s reporting boundary in the table below.2Description of city1Please completeCounty Durham is a largely rural county in the North East of England, UK. The county boundary is marked on the attached map. Durham City acts as the main employment and educational centre for the County, hosting Durham University, and the world-renowned Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site.The county has good transport links, including the A1(M), A19, A66, and the East Coast Main Line, providing access to the rest of the region and country for both business and tourism. This, coupled with good access to ports on the North East coast and to two airports within one hour of travelling time, provides direct links to Europe and the rest of the world.County Durham has a culturally important history of mining and mineral working. In the 18th and 19th centuries, County Durham became a world leader in the Industrial Revolution, with the county's development based on coal and iron production. Large areas of the county are underlain by mineral resources of local and national importance. County Durham's many quarries are regionally important producers of aggregates, industrial minerals and other mineral commodities which provide the raw materials for the infrastructure, buildings and goods that society needs. The legacy of coal mining in County Durham also provides a unique opportunity to provide low carbon forms of heating to residents and businesses located in former mining settlements through mine water heating schemes.County Durham's economic outlook has improved in recent years, following the devastation of the demise of the coal mining industry in the North East in the 1980s. The county is now seen as a key regional contributor to the economy; with the development of key emerging industries, the opening up of strategically important sites and a pipeline of investments. The continued success of; Durham University, science and high tech industries, and national and international tourism around the county’s heritage, culture, and natural beauty, have all added to this growing confidence. Significant industries are located within our rural areas, which we also need to continue to support to enable their growth and success. Farming and food production are an important part of the rural economy in Durham.We also have a number of larger towns including; Barnard Castle, Consett, Spennymoor, Peterlee, Stanley, Bishop Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, and Crook, which all provide a key location for local and regional businesses contributing to the employment base and local economy. Tourism across the county continues to grow year on year with new attractions developing in the Durham Vale, rural west, and east coast. The ongoing roll out of broadband provides a significant opportunity for new industries and businesses to locate in rural areas and for home working to become a viable option too.However, despite this significant potential for continued success, the county continues to lag behind national and regional indicators in respect of employment and wages and the economic implications of Covid 19 are likely to be severe. A significant area of outstanding natural beauty, the Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site, a heritage coast, and the Durham Dales provide a backdrop to our towns and villages. Large swathes of high-quality landscape mean that you are rarely far from being in the countryside. Culturally the history of the Prince Bishops has helped to define many of the older settlements as well as the communities that live there. Over 90 conservation areas, 226 scheduled monuments, and well over 3,000 listed buildings provide a history of Britain from Roman times through early Christianity to the birth of the railways and the start of the industrial revolution. Durham is proud of its heritage and can also boast about its wildlife as it hosts 9 European protected sites and many Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and national and local nature reserves.

Reduce carbon emissions from Durham County Council's operations by 80% from 2008/09 levels by 2030, making significant progress towards making Durham County Council and County Durham as a whole carbon neutral.2. Investigate what further actions are necessary to make County Durham Carbon Neutral by 2050 and pledge to achieve this.These targets are addressed in the council's Climate Emergency Response Plan, which was adopted by council in February 2020 and will be updated every two years.

Governance and Data Management1.0Please detail sustainability goals and targets (e.g. GHG reductions) that are incorporated into your city’s master plan and describe how these are addressed in the table below.2Description2The County Durham Plan (adopted in November 2020) which sets the policy framework for new development In County Durham to 2035 was subject to sustainability appraisal (SA). The SA included objectives for adaptation including flood defence which the County Durham Plan was assessed against. A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) was produced to inform the SA process, and in particular the assessment of sites. The role of SFRA is defined within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). This requires that a 'sequential, risk based approach to the location of development - taking into account the current and future impacts of climate change - so as to avoid, where possible, flood risk to people and property.'Sites in the County Durham Plan have all been subject to the Sequential Test utilising information provided through the SFRA. This information has also been used to inform the SA (which includes criteria on flooding) to help assess sites. Policy 35 in the County Durham Plan (Water Management) sets the parameters for determining new development in flood zones (where this will not be permitted) and ensures that there will be no net increase in surface water run off from new development over its lifetime.

Governance and Data Management1.0Please detail sustainability goals and targets (e.g. GHG reductions) that are incorporated into your city’s master plan and describe how these are addressed in the table below.2Description3There are no specific, overarching renewable energy targets set by the council. The target of Carbon Neutral by 2050 will require renewable energy, but there are no targets to date on the specific amount of renewable energy that will be required to meet that target. However, Policy 29 of the County Durham Plan (Sustainable Design) requires all new development to minimise greenhouse gas emissions, by seeking to achieve zero carbon buildings and providing renewable and low carbon energy generation, and include connections to an existing or approved district energy scheme where viable opportunities exist. Where connection to the gas network is not viable, development should utilise renewable and low carbon technologies as the main heating source;All new residential properties are required to achieve reductions in CO2 emissions of 10% below the Dwelling Emission Rate (DER) against the Target Emission Rate (TER) based on current Building Regulations(96)All major new non-residential development will be required to achieve Building ResearchEstablishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) minimum rating of ‘very good’ (orany future national equivalent).

Governance and Data Management1.0Please detail sustainability goals and targets (e.g. GHG reductions) that are incorporated into your city’s master plan and describe how these are addressed in the table below.2Description6The County Durham Plan (adopted in November 2020) contains a number of policies which aim to drive the management of waste up the waste hierarchy and ensure that disposal is the last resort. Durham County Council has a waste management strategy which sets out a clear policy and actions to help guide future waste management decisions in County Durham. An addendum to the original strategy was produced in March 2010 which updates the original strategy and identifies key challenges for the future. The overall objectives of the Strategy are to:- provide sustainable integrated waste collection and disposal services that protect human health and the environment;- provide value for money in all waste management services while achieving and exceeding government targets for waste;- manage materials, as far as possible, in accordance with the waste hierarchy, maximising the amount managed at higher levels of the hierarchy;- manage municipal waste, as far as possible, within the boundaries of County Durham; and- enable flexibility to allow for new technology developments and changing legislation.Our strategies are also in line with DEFRA's Resources and Waste Strategy for England, which sets out how to double resource productivity and eliminate avoidable waste of all kinds (including plastic waste) by 2050.
