OUTLINE plans for three new homes at Swarthmoor have prompted concerns about extra traffic pulling in and out of a busy main road.

Owen Rainford, of Bowness-on-Windermere, has submitted plans for a trio of 'detached executive homes' in the grounds of Beckthorn, on Ulverston Road, with access onto the A590.

In its comments to South Lakeland District Council, Pennington Parish Council said it felt that access "would prove to be a problem". Two neighbours also raised similar concerns.
