SOCIAL landlord South Lakes Housing is seeking planning consent for two new bungalows at Allithwaite.

The two-bedroom rental properties would replace a row of ten garages within an estate of bungalows at Boarbank Lane, according to plans lodged with South Lakeland District Council.

The new homes have been designed with "simple construction methods" to enable apprentice tradespeople to gain "invaluable relevant experience", the plans state.
