“The area has many local amenities including a primary school and good public transport links and only a half mile away from the Cark & Cartmel railway station.

“Outline planning permission exists for the proposed development of 32 dwellings with associated landscaping, car parking and amenity space was granted by South Lakeland District Council in January last year.
