As far as we can tell, there are only two document that specifically refer to Longhorsley.

EX/NCC/96 - Green Belt and Safeguarded Land

The Longhorsley detail starts on page 13.

EX/NCC/113 - Note on areas of conflict between settlement boundaries in made neighbourhood plans and the proposed Green Belt boundaries.

The summary on page 2 says

"The Council acknowledges that in these instances there is conflict with the Longhorsley Neighbourhood Plan and the Morpeth Neighbourhood Plan, however considers the approach necessary to ensure that Green Belt boundaries will be effective and NPPF compliant. The identified conflicts generally affect small areas where there is no built or proposed development and where there are open land uses compatible with the characteristics and purposes of the Green Belt."

The Longhorsley detail starts on page 8.
