The West Planning Committee of Northumberland Council is scheduled to convene on Tuesday, 9 June 2026. The meeting's agenda includes the determination of planning applications, an update on planning appeals, and consideration of urgent business.

Determination of Planning Applications

The committee is scheduled to consider planning applications, with a primary focus on a proposal at Land East of Langley Furniture Works, Langley-on-Tyne, Northumberland. This application seeks permission for the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of five new one to two-storey dwellings, including two detached garages, along with associated landscaping and access. The report pack indicates that this application is a resubmission of a previous refusal, with the current proposal differing in design for one of the plots. The report details extensive consultation responses, including objections from Haydon Parish Council regarding density, highway safety, drainage, and noise from the adjacent Langley Furniture Works. The County Ecologist and Highways Development Management team have also provided input, with Highways raising fundamental concern in terms of location and reliance on private car but no technical objections, subject to conditions. The report also outlines the planning policy context, including the Northumberland Local Plan and the Haydon Parish Neighbourhood Plan, and discusses the principle of development, design, archaeological impact, amenity, highway safety, and ecological impact.

Appeals Update

A report is scheduled to be presented to members for their information, detailing the progress of planning appeals across Northumberland. This is a standard monthly update.

Urgent Business

The committee may also consider any other business deemed urgent by the Chair, should special circumstances arise.
