FOUR new houses are planned for Allithwaite village by farmer Trevor Wilson, chair of Lower Holker Parish Council.

Mr Wilson hopes to build the properties on land at Lyndene, Holme Lane, and plans have been lodged with South Lakeland District Council.

A neighbour on Holme Lane observed to planners that "the design has not been worth the wait" and the houses are "at odds" with existing properties on the lane.
