Coun Jeff Watson told Amble Town Council last week that an application to build 51 rentable homes in Amble’s Coquet Enterprise Park and a plan to create a car park at The Braid have been put on hold.

It comes as Arch – The Northumberland Development Company is undergoing a strategic review, after the Northumberland Conservative group’s election victory in May.

But Arch’s approved scheme for a 30-bedroom hotel and a 150-seater restaurant and bar at the town’s trading estate will still go ahead. Coun Watson said that he was against the homes proposal, but was in favour of the car-park scheme.
