Fresh plans to convert a farm on the north Northumberland coast into housing have been lodged with the county council. Last August, a scheme was submitted to replace ‘unsightly’ agricultural buildings with five new homes in the countryside outside Alnmouth.But the outline application for the development, at Mount Pleasant Farm off the Foxton Road, was later withdrawn by the applicant, Mrs S Murray. The site consists of a farmhouse and other buildings accessed by a private road off the route heading north out of the seaside village.The new bid is now seeking full planning permission, but the number of homes has been reduced to three.
