Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 05:59 · Archive

Planning applications have been submitted across Copeland, Barrow and Westmorland and Furness councils this week, covering a range of residential and conservation proposals.

In Copeland, applications include a proposal to reduce and remove trees at Moss Bank, Back Corkickle, Whitehaven, situated within a conservation area. An application has also been made to discharge planning conditions at the site of the former Beckermet Service Garage.

In Barrow-in-Furness, a property at 35 North Row has sought prior approval for the removal of a conservatory and construction of a single-storey rear extension. The extension would project 5 metres from the original house, with an eaves height of 2.41 metres and a maximum height of 3.16 metres.

Westmorland and Furness Council has received multiple applications this week. These include a lawful development certificate for a front entrance porch in Ulverston, and a single-storey rear extension with basement works and solar panel installation at Lowther Street, Penrith. A change of use application at Somerset House, Kents Bank Road, Grange-over-Sands, seeks to convert a bed and breakfast into a large house in multiple occupation providing staff accommodation for up to nine occupants.

Tree works applications span the councils, including crown lifting and reductions in conservation areas and work to trees subject to preservation orders. Additional applications include extensions, a farm shed and access track in the Penrith area, and telecommunications poles near Aldingham.
