A popular Northumberland pub has been given the green light to keep its outdoor area following an outpour of support from the community.
Northumberland County Council planners had recommended that members of the North Northumberland Local Area Council refuse permission for the Craster Arms’ to keep its “garden pods” and outdoor bar installed during the coronavirus crisis.
The council’s heritage officer felt the development would cause harm to the grade II listed building that would not be outweighed by the benefits it would bring.
