Welcome

This website relates to the proposals at Skerningham Garden Village. It was originally prepared as part of the consultation on the draft Comprehensive Masterplan which ended on 30 November 2023.

Since then, we have been reviewing the feedback received and making changes to the Comprehensive Masterplan where considered appropriate. A revised version of the document is now available to view on the “Comprehensive Masterplan” tab, along with a report which details the consultation undertaken with the local community and stakeholders.

The Comprehensive Masterplan has been prepared by Skerningham Estates Ltd and Banks Property who are the lead developers of the Skerningham allocation. Following the completion of the revisions, the document has been shared with Darlington Borough Council for agreement, as per the requirements of Policy H 10 of the Darlington Local Plan.

It is understood that Darlington Borough Council will be discussing the Comprehensive Masterplan at the Cabinet Meeting on Tuesday 3 December 2024.

What is Skerningham?

Skerningham is an allocation in the Darlington Local Plan, on the northern side of the town, now comprising a development of approximately 3,700 dwellings, including a neighbourhood centre, health hub, school(s) and other supporting infrastructure.

Skerningham is also a designated Garden Village following the announcement by the Government on 27 June 2019.
