The Appeals and Complaints Sub-Committee of County Durham Council met on Tuesday 09 June 2026. The meeting was scheduled to consider an appeal from the Neighbourhoods and Environment department.

Appeal from Neighbourhoods and Environment

The sub-committee was scheduled to consider an appeal lodged by the Neighbourhoods and Environment department. The report pack provided to the committee members included documentation relating to the appeal, such as the Appeal Hearing Procedure, the Appellant's Statement of Case, and the Hearing Officer's Statement of Case. These documents would have provided the background and details of the appeal for the committee's consideration.

The meeting was held in private, with a resolution to exclude the public during the discussion of exempt or confidential information. This is in line with the provisions of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the public when sensitive information is being discussed.

The members of the Appeals and Complaints Sub-Committee who were scheduled to attend were Councillor Louise Penders, Councillor Susan Husband, and Councillor Kathryn Rooney. Kirsty Charlton was listed as the contact person for the meeting.
