Rachael Graham, Planning Director at Persimmon Homes Lancashire, said: "This project will deliver a range of high-quality, energy-efficient homes, providing choice for all buyers at prices people can afford. We look forward to continuing to work with Westmorland and Furness Council to progress this application through the planning system."

Specific details regarding affordable housing and layout will be determined in subsequent reserved matters applications. The housebuilder has indicated that 10% of the homes in the residential development (i.e., 11 homes) will be transferred to a registered provider as affordable rent housing. The residential development also includes sustainable urban drainage systems, solar panels, heat pumps, and electric vehicle charging facilities to reduce its environmental impact.

GTD Design is collaborating with the housebuilder on this residential development, with partners including Emery Planning, Urban Green, and E3P. The project team also includes Betts, Redmore Environmental, I Transport, Wardell Armstrong, and Kathyrn Sather and Associates.
