17.8%
of households rent from a council or housing association
England average: 17.1%
Around 18% of households rent from the council or a housing association, slightly above average. Tenants need their landlord's permission first.
Stone villages and colliery towns
Rural homes are typically stone-built with thick walls, so a door installation is often easier than a wall flap. In the former colliery towns in the south-east of the county, terraces with back yards are common, where a back-door cat flap is usually straightforward.
National park, Hadrian's Wall and the coast
Northumberland National Park has its own planning authority, and Hadrian's Wall is part of a World Heritage Site. Coastal homes from Berwick to Blyth face cold North Sea winds; a flap with good seals and a strong magnetic closure helps. The Northumberland Coast is a National Landscape.

Questions from homeowners in Northumberland
Will a cat flap let the cold in on the coast?
A well-sealed flap with a strong magnetic closure keeps out most draughts, especially in a sheltered door.
Do I need permission near Hadrian's Wall?
Most rear-door flaps don't, but listed buildings and homes inside the national park may. Check with the relevant authority.
Who handles planning?
Northumberland County Council, or Northumberland National Park Authority inside the park.
