Why buy land in Northumberland
Northumberland is grass and livestock country. 70% of its farmed land is grass, across 1,854 commercial holdings running about 123,000 cattle and 1,130,000 sheep. For land that means grazing to let or take nearby, working livestock markets, and neighbours who farm.
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.
Planning applications go to Northumberland Council.

- Can I build on or live on land in Northumberland?

- I'm selling land in Northumberland. How do I reach these buyers?
