REVITALISE: The Copper Dog, situated between Barrow and Leece
AN “eyesore” pub in a Furness village is expected to be demolished and turned into four new houses.
The latest planning application for The Copper Dog at Leece will be discussed on Thursday by South Lakeland District Council’s planning committee.
Planning officers have recommended councillors support the development bid by Alan Grove of Leece Homes Ltd.
The applicants said: “It will bring a vacant and redundant site back into use, replacing a fairly ordinary public house with a residential scheme of high design quality.”
Six people have written to South Lakeland District Council with two in support, two against and two making observations.
The matter will be decided at a meeting on Thursday, February 7.
