NINE new homes are planned for Holme village, including a terrace of three affordable houses for locals.

Plans have been lodged with South Lakeland District Council by Mr R Emmett, of Wray, for the old railway yard at Moss Lane.

The plot is frequently vandalised and is "becoming more and more of an eyesore", according to planning documents, and the provision of new homes for small families is "in keeping with the area".
