The development, on the site of Border Park Services, on the A68 at Rochester, will feature a new fishing lake, seven log cabins, six craft workshops, a fully-functioning observatory, sewage treatment plant, boathouse and extension/refurbishment of the existing shop/café.

Applicant Eric Balki , CEO of TriPyramid Ventures, said: “For years, we have seen a declining population, especially a demographic shift with younger population moving to cities.

“We will now start seeking partners that will help us embark on this project, and I genuinely feel that this is the most exciting time for Northumberland and our local villages like Otterburn and Byrness in a very long time.”
