Why buy a building plot in Northumberland
Northumberland National Park, the North Pennines National Landscape, and the Northumberland Coast National Landscape protect a large part of Northumberland, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
14% of Northumberland is Green Belt, which keeps the countryside around its towns open. New homes there need special circumstances, so check the designation on any plot before you count on planning.
628 people were on Northumberland's council self-build registers at October 2024. Councils must grant enough permissions to meet that demand, so registering with your council as well as with us is worth doing.
Planning applications go to Northumberland Council.
