An old pub site has undergone a change of use and is set to be transformed into affordable housing.
The derelict Willows pub site has just been given planning permission to have 22 new homes built on it.
Situated near Morpeth, the property investment will be funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and developed by Two Castles housing association.
Each of the new homes will be the first in Northumberland to achieve level four of the government's Code for Sustainable Homes.
Alan Davies, investment and regeneration manager at the HCA, commented: "With a range of eco-friendly features, including energy-efficient solar panels, compost bins and cycle storage, the new homes will be a step up for greener living in Northumberland."
The news comes as the HCA announced a £2.4 million investment into a change of use development in Stockport, in which a former brewery is set to be redeveloped into an affordable housing programme.
