EIGHTEEN new homes have been proposed for land east of Burton Road, Oxenholme.
Local developer Oakmere Homes Ltd is seeking planning permission to build on grassland bordering the A65 road, at the foot of the Helm.
According to planning documents, the homes would be mostly dormer bungalows with stone and render walls and slate roofs. Six of the properties would be affordable, and works would be done to resolve drainage and surface water issues at the site.
The plans are with South Lakeland District Council.
