PLANS for a new two-storey house on a garden plot near Grange-over-Sands met with approval.

South Lakeland District Council gave planning consent to Mr C Blakemore for the four-bedroom property on land at Beech Hill, 53 Carter Road, Kents Bank.

According to planning documents, planners described the proposed dwelling as "of limited merit" but "not sufficiently poor to warrant refusal".
