Design Code: Northumberland Neighbourhoods Consultation

Overview

We are excited to announce that Northumberland County Council has started developing a Design Code, which will set specific requirements for the design of future development. We are currently gathering information that will help us decide what to address in the Northumberland Design Code. A key part of this process is to learn more about what our communities think of where they live and which aspects they think we should prioritise for future homes and neighbourhoods. 

What’s it like to live here? Tell us about the buildings, streets and neighbourhoods that make Northumberland your home.

We want our communities to help shape the Northumberland Design Code. To find out more and get involved, please visit the Northumberland Design Code Consultation Hub.

The Northumberland Neighbourhoods consultation is open until 5pm on Friday 9th January 2026.

Closes 9 Jan 2026

Opened 24 Nov 2025
