A controversial planning application to build three new homes in Prudhoe will not be decided by councillors, it has been decided.
Instead, Northumberland County Council planners will make a decision on whether the detached houses can be built on land east of Tulip Street.
Prudhoe Town Council had objected to the proposals on the grounds of access and car parking, while three residents of neighbouring properties had also objected and had concerns about loss of light to their homes as well as highways safety.
