What happens at appeal

This application is at appeal, which passes the decision from County Durham to the planning inspectorate, and the outcome will replace the council's decision. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

About outline applications

An outline application tests the principle of developing a site, holding back details such as appearance and landscaping as reserved matters for later approval. More in our guide to planning application types.
