CoLC - new homes in Northumberland [County]

The housing situation in Northumberland is actually rather complex. The county has a largely rural population with a few towns and villages, in contrast SE Northumberland is more urbanised, previously relying on coal-mining for employment. Plus it has a large National Park & a rich built landscape heritage.
.
However, in recent years there has been a good deal of house building in many areas, both rural and urban. Sadly, the national shortage of "affordable" housing to buy or rent is also found here - and I doubt if the increased targets for new & affordable homes will be fully met. {some areas also have the second / holiday / airbnb forcing out local people problem}.
