the council officially turned down the planning application today and the field is staying as it is. i cant believe we actually pulled this off but the village is safe for now. thanks for keeping the pressure on because we really did get the result we wanted.

Final supporters
Barratts are proposing to build 286 houses on the field opposite the memorial garden. This alone would increase the size of the village by approximately 45%. We don’t have the transport or facilities to support such a large development, unlike Seaton Delaval or Seaton Sluice.
Whilst some people will be all for this expansion, there are many against. You still have time to object and your views are important.
One of the reasons behind this site being chosen was its locality to the A19…
There was no mention on the additional traffic, that nearly 300 houses would bring (considering nearly every home these days has at least two cars!!)
How long will these houses take to build and should the planning permission be approved?
Currently, between New Hartley, Seaton Delaval and Seaton Sluice there are
limited child places within the schools. Not to men-tion the current parking situation and daily strug-gles a lot of us have dur-ing term time. Could you imagine an additional 300 cars?
Importantly, what about the wildlife that will be disturbed and have to relocate due to these proposed plans? Or the fact that back in 1862 our little village changed the mining legislation, when 204 men and boys and 40 ponies lost their lives in a disaster directly underneath the pro-posed building site. Where is the respect for our history and all those people who lost their lives?
There is still time to act and contribute your opinions and objections on this proposal!!

Having had as many houses built on my own doorstep, where school and shops were promised and reneged upon, this petition must be supported for the sake of the people of New Hartley
Lied to by barratts who stated new hartley 1st school were all in favour of development. Worry about the impact of traffic, strain on the drainage system and wildlife impact. Not to mention the lack of suitable amenities in new Hartley already. Go build somewhere else and leave our village alone.
How about pulling down some of the unoccupied 'offices' on buisiness parke and using that land instead ofconstantly ruining any green place we have!
The main attraction to New Hartley for me is that it's a small village with a small friendly community. I feel this will be destroyed with the extra development. The traditional and historical feel will be lost as we are slowly becoming a large estate of lego houses instead of greenery and wildlife.
Our village will struggle with the extra traffic the building works will cause and as public transport etc isnot being improved, what is the benefit for the village? Our school is already full too.
School can't cope, roads can't cope, ridiculous proposal
Too much traffic, insufficient schooling, ignoring mining culture, killing yet more greenery and wildlife, yet more new houses no one will be able to afford. All valid reasons to oppose.

the road in our beautiful village can not take the increase in traffic that these houses will bring and if this happens it will make it dangerous for is horse rides to ride through the village due to the increase of the traffic on such small roads
