Residents of a Northumberland village boasting some of the best views of the River Tyne have been left fuming after a housing developer erected a two-metre high fence blocking some of the stunning vista.
Property developer Hamilton Willis recently had an application for four new homes on land south of Centurion Way in Heddon-on-the-Wall rejected by Northumberland County Council's planning committee.
Despite the fact the application proved unpopular with local residents, the company has lodged an appeal which is set to be heard next month.
