• 26/01023/AM1 Refused

  Land At Philadelphia Complex/Philadelphia Lane Houghton-le-Spring

  Non-material amendment to planning application 23/01209/REM (Reserved matter application pursuant to 14/00538/HYB, seeking approval of the details of access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for the erection of 35 residential units (as amended) to allow for 1 additional parking space to plot 23.

  Decided 17 Jul 2026 Amendments

Sunderland granted permission on 5 July 2024, subject to any conditions on the decision notice. Work must normally begin within three years or the permission lapses. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

A reserved matters application fills in the detail held back from an earlier outline permission, judged against that permission rather than the principle of development. More in our guide to planning application types.
