PLANS have been lodged to convert a former chippy in Barrow into a house.
Tracy McCullough has submitted a planning application to Westmorland and Furness Council to convert the former Ormsgill Chippy on Middlefield and the attached house into a single residence.
According to planning documents there will be no change to the size of the building.
The chippy closed its doors in 2022 after decades of trading in the community.
The business, situated in Middlefield, was run by Pam Silcocks and Elaine Stables for over twenty years after they took over the shop when the building was still owned by Barrow Borough Council.
Councillor Bill McEwan (Ormsgill and Parkside, Labour) previously described the closure of the chippy as a ‘sad loss’ for the community.
This planning application is currently undergoing public consultation.
