Plans for a new family home on the outskirts of one of Northumberland's most scenic villages have been narrowly approved by councillors.
Despite council planners recommending the plans for refusal, members of North Northumberland's Local Area Committee voted by five votes to three to approve the plans for the new home in Bamburgh, with two other councillors choosing to abstain from the vote.
Despite falling foul of planning officers, the proposals had the support of the local parish council.
