Alnwick Council is offering residents advice on new housing application rules.
From October 1, the Government will introduce several major changes, meaning that a large number of householders will no longer need planning permission when extending their homes but in other cases, for example if a home is in a conservation area, there will be stricter criteria.
Planning permission will also be required for new driveways or parking areas which cover an area of more than five square metres and are constructed from surfaces which do not allow water to soak into the ground.
ALNWICK Town football club has been told it can still have its new ground - if it finds the funding itself.
The Football Club fears for its future after local planners refused two applications from its landlord which would have seen the club's ground sold for redevelopment - raising funds for a much needed new stadium on a new site.
With just 18 months left on its lease and nowhere to go, the club believes it may fold.

BOSSES at a Northumberland football club last night predicted it would fold after planners blocked their bid for a new ground.
Alnwick Town Football Club has been promised a replacement for its ageing St James' Park home. The poor state of the ground forced it to resign from the Northern League two years ago.
Landlord the Duke of Northumberland Estate's lined up a new site for the club as part of a town sports complex, which already has planning permission. In order to finance the new ground, the Estates sought to sell St James' Park and submitted two planning applications for the redevelopment of the site, for housing and offices.
