Councillors have reluctantly granted a developer permission to alter its development of almost 300 homes for a fourth time.
Barratt Homes applied for permission to increase the number of three and four-bedroom homes at its controversial development at New Hartley in Northumberland, while decreasing the number of two-bedroom homes.
Members on Northumberland County Council's planning committee agreed that there were no planning reasons to refuse the application, despite opposition from local residents and Seaton Valley Parish Council.
