Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on County Durham and are not the council. About us

The Appeals and Complaints Sub-Committee of County Durham Council was scheduled to consider an appeal from Regeneration, Economy and Growth. The meeting was held in private to discuss exempt and confidential information.

Appeal from Regeneration, Economy and Growth

The committee was scheduled to consider an appeal lodged by Regeneration, Economy and Growth. The report pack included documentation detailing the appeal hearing procedure, the appellant's statement of case, and the hearing officer's statement of case. These documents would have provided the basis for the committee's consideration of the appeal.

The appeal hearing procedure, outlined on pages 3-4 of the public reports pack1, would have set out the framework for how the appeal would be conducted. The appellant's statement of case, found on pages 5-22, would have presented their arguments and grounds for the appeal. The hearing officer's statement of case, a more extensive document spanning pages 23-160, would have provided a detailed account of the matter under appeal from the perspective of the hearing officer.

The members of the Appeals and Complaints Sub-Committee scheduled to consider this matter were Councillor Stephen Bowron, Councillor Emma Hunt, and Councillor Eric Mavin. Kirsty Charlton was the contact person for this meeting.
