Residents of a small village inundated with new developments have hit out at council planners and claimed their community has almost doubled in size in recent years.
Speaking at Monday's meeting of Castle Morpeth Local Area Council, Stannington Station resident Ted Hall said the village had increased in size by 95% and criticised "overdevelopment" of the area.
Mr Hall was speaking in opposition of an outline planning application for four more bungalows in the village, and called on councillors to go against planning officers' recommendations and throw the application out.
