Norham housing concerns raised

NORHAM Parish Council has raised a number of concerns about the proposed new housing development at Galagate Farm.

Plans have been lodged to build 23 homes on the site. These comprise 14 from converted farm buildings and nine new builds where farm sheds would be demolished.

Councillors said that whilst they had no objection in principle to the development, concern was expressed about the scale and nature of this proposal, including the lack of affordable housing.

The impact of the additional load on the already inadequate drainage system was also highlighted, while the proposed access arrangements were considered inadequate.

The plans will be considered by Northumberland County Council.
