PLANS to demolish a defunct garage in Dalton-in-Furness to make way for five one-bedroomed flats have been put before Barrow Borough Council.
The new owner of Hall Street Garage, Steve Pears of Classic Mouldings, Coniston, has applied to flatten the garage that closed last year and build a three-storey apartment building.
Borough planning officer Charles Wilton said more applications were coming through for brown field sites like the garage in Dalton because of the booming property market and planning policy that deterred developers from building on previously undeveloped land.
