Residents Oppose Planning Application
Local residents from the Woodstone
Village area have united to oppose a planning application submitted to Durham
County Council by local petrol distribution company Par Petroleum.
The planning application which is
supported by the local planning team at Durham County Council, states that the
company must expand its operations on the former Lumley Sixth Pit site in order
to satisfy a new contract which the company has recently been awarded to store
and distribute highly flammable aviation fuel.
