RE: New Housing Estates and Other Developments

Isn't there a planning condition in Durham that there must be a bus stop within 400m of any new development, and if there isn't the developer has to subsidise it?
If that's the case, then the aykley Woods development near the police station must only just be within that limit with the stops at the hospital.

I reckon its 15 years since developers decided they were going to build a cinema at the Galleries.
The land is still derelict.
It'll probably be derelict for a while longer with cine world's announcement, today.
