A Conservative councillor has slammed a planning application submitted by Northumberland Estates saying it "puts profits before people".
The developer, which is the Duke of Northumberland's property developer, had applied for permission from Northumberland County Council to build 63 new homes on land south of Broomhouse Lane in Prudhoe.
Council officers had recommended the plans for approval, but local residents raised concerns about the impact the development would have on road safety. They were particularly concerned about Tilley Crescent, which would become one of two access routes for the estate.
