This site is designed to focus on issues that affect the Middleton One Row Conservation Area. Our group was formed in
2008 and had some notable victories in persuading the local council to refuse planning permission for development. However,
most of these decision have now been reversed by the Government's Planning Inspectorate - which has gone agaist the local
wishes of residents and used subtle loopholes in planning rules to over rule Darlington Borough Council.
Our Mission
The Conservation Area in Middleton One Row is an important part of the villages of both Middleton St George and Middleton
One Row (for definition of 'conservation area' and a plan see the campaign information and the diagram pages). It should keep
the villages lookong beautiful and maintain the character and tranquility of local life. The Friends of the Conservation Area
are local residents dedicated to ensuring the Conservation Area status is given due regard when decisions are taken about
changes in the villages.
