Editions by area
Tees Valley
Every published edition for the Tees Valley areas, latest first.
Tees Valley has no established mayoral strategic authority and no integrated settlement, unlike Greater Manchester or the West Midlands. Three Mayoral Development Corporations, at Middlesbrough, South Tees and Hartlepool, act as the local planning authority within their own boundaries; the five borough councils remain the planning authority everywhere else. For affordable homes, the national Strategic and Affordable Homes Programme is the primary funding route rather than a mayoral allocation, while the Combined Authority's Brownfield Housing Fund is chiefly the route for land, remediation and viability gaps.
This edition covers five areas: Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar and Cleveland, Hartlepool and Darlington. Each briefing sets out the borough's Pride in Place neighbourhood board, its live housing and town-centre programmes, and the partners delivering homes on the ground.
Every edition is dated to the day its research was checked, in this case 19 September 2026.
