PEOPLE are being asked for their views on plans to build a housing development in Kendal.

Story Homes is looking to build approximately 40 homes on land off Brigsteer Road, which has been allocated for residential development by South Lakeland District Council.

Of the proposed 40 new homes, about 14 would be designated as affordable housing.

Story Homes’ said its plans would include provision for protecting and enhancing the nearby woodland, contributing towards local primary school capacity and the creation of new footpath and cycle path links into the nearby countryside.

Story Homes development planner David Hayward said: “This site has already been allocated for housing so we are preparing our application in close consultation with the council.

"We are asking the community to get in touch with their comments, ideas and feedback about our proposal to help us shape this application before it is submitted later in the year.”
