Back in December 2015, a hybrid application by Northumberland Estates – a full bid for 10 new affordable homes and an outline scheme for 10 self-build plots – was given the green light by the county council.

Then, in August last year, a reserved-matters application by Lindisfarne Homes for the 10 self-build plots was granted permission, which the firm is now marketing as Foxton Glade.
