The 
County Durham Regeneration Statement.pdf (54 pages, 2141kb) outlines the underlying ambition of creating sustainable places where people want to live, work, invest and visit can be achieved. The statement outlines the current Durham County position and looks forward ten years, identifying key priorities and ambitions for where we want to be. It underpins the Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) for County Durham and forms the Altogether Wealthier Priority Theme.
SCS Priority Theme: Altogether wealthier – is focused on creating a vibrant economy and putting regeneration and economic development at the heart of the SCS.
The objective of achieving an “Altogether Wealthier” county sits at the heart of the county’s strategies. The county has prioritised economic regeneration as core means of achieving its vision. The Regeneration Statement will be delivered through the planning policies set out in the County Durham Plan (Local Development Framework) and the improvements brought about by the Local Transport Plan and the Durham Housing Strategy.
