About Longhirst - Planning Applications & Local Development

Longhirst is a charming village and civil parish in Northumberland, situated about 2.5 miles northeast of Morpeth. Originally an estate village for Longhirst Hall—a Grade II* listed building constructed in 1824 by architect John Dobson—the area thrived due to the Lawson family's coal wealth and the subsequent operation of Longhirst Colliery from 1868 to 1896. Today, Longhirst Hall has been transformed into private apartments, while the village's historical roots and development make it relevant for those researching planning applications in this picturesque part of Northumberland. The other has a population of approximately 435 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Northumberland district.
