Northumberland County Council, the local planning authority covering Hexham, approved 163 residential planning applications and refused 17 in the last 12 months, with 1,458 still awaiting a decision. Too few decisions were captured in the period to state a reliable approval rate.

Those applications propose around 1,727 homes, an estimated £468.8m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Northumberland County Council covers more than one town in Northumberland, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Hexham alone.
