A LITTLE Urswick couple are seeking planning consent for a 'downsized' garage business.

Mike and Joyce Blanchard previously gained outline planning permission for five new homes on the site of their Longrigg Service Station, between Great and Little Urswick, near Ulverston.

According to plans, there is "still a demand" for a garage/service station, so the pair are seeking the go-ahead for a smaller version of the workshop. Plans are with South Lakeland District Council.
