PLANS have been lodged for new homes in a south Cumbrian village.
Kenneth Smith has submitted a planning in principle application to build up to six new homes on land off Flookburgh Road in Allithwaite.
Planning documents say the site represents a ‘suitable infill opportunity’ as it is close to a number of shops and transport links.
The planning statement says: “The site is considered to represent a suitable location for new housing as it is located within the local service centre of Allithwaite.
“The proposed development will also contribute to both the local and national policy objective of significantly boosting the supply of homes.”
According to planning documents the permission in principle (PIP) consent route is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission for housing-led development.
This route separates the consideration of matters of principle for proposed development from the technical detail of the development, the planning statement adds.
The application is under consideration
