Plans for a one-bedroom extension to a Beadnell bungalow have been approved by councillors despite local fears it could alter the character of the popular village's estate.
The applicant had reapplied for permission to build the single storey extension to their bungalow on the Longstone estate in Beadnell, after the same committee refused permission in February.
It was argued that the previous proposals would "fail to respect local context and the character of the area".
