The Yakkers pub at Allithwaite
THE 'failing' Yakkers pub at Allithwaite village can be converted into three homes, South Lakeland District Council planners decided.
Mr and Mrs Paul Latham bought the inn five years ago and invested heavily, but it "has been a failing business", according to planning documents.
Their plans to create three dwellings at the pub at The Square, Holme Lane, were also supported by Lower Allithwaite Parish Council.
