Housing plans halted by possible Anglo Saxon remains


Recommended Posts

The ruling against further development because of potential archaeological significance is understandable. It would, however, be frustrating for any potential home owner.

Quote

At least six graves, potentially of "national and international importance", were found on land at The Fens in Hart Village, County Durham.

Planning officers warned proposed work could cause "substantial harm" and a loss of archaeology to the area.

Hartlepool Borough Council refused planning permission after hearing from experts.

Areas rich in archaeological finds should be preserved, or course. Rulings that prohibit building for preservation could be, however, an impediment to needed development and growth.
