Concerns about second homes on the scenic Northumberland coast were raised once again after councillors rejected plans for four new homes.
Plans were submitted to Northumberland County Council requesting outline permission to build the homes on a plot in Boulmer, currently containing just one bungalow.
The plans, which did not contain specific details of the houses to be built and would have required a further application before any development could take place, were recommended for approval by council planners.
