TREES and wall to stay as 11 houses get built in Dalton NEW homes are going to be built in Dalton three years after they were first proposed. Home builder David Abbot has been faced with numerous obstacles over his plans to build the homes in Crompton Drive.
Barrow Borough Council’s planning committee has twice rejected a footpath link between Abbey Road from Crompton Drive. After inspecting the original plans, the council removed the requirement for a footpath after putting in a tree preservation order to protect trees and a limestone wall, where the path would have been built. Mr Abbot said: “It s a relief to finally get this sorted and take the path out of the equation. It has been frustrating that we could not start earlier but we should have the first show home ready by September.
Plans to build the development, at Lots Road, have been given the green light. Morecambe Bay Clinical Commissioning Group had requested a contribution of £6,431 towards the extension of The Askam & Dalton GP Surgery. The group said the proposal would generate approximately 56 new patient registrations based on average household size. But Barrow Council case officer Charles Wilton said: “There is no evidence in this project to ask for big contributions from the developer but financial contributions for a traffic calming scheme is welcomed. We cannot require contributions for big schemes but my recommendation is we approved this project.” Cllr Daniel Edwards, who represents Dalton North, was worried about the impact of the scheme. He said: “I have concerns about the proximity of the development by the village school.

GO-AHEAD: The approval means the Duerdens will be allowed to sell meat to the public directly from their farm Plans for a Dalton farming family to diversify by selling meat directly to the public from their farm have been given the green light. Barrow Borough Council s planning committee has approved proposals from the Duerdens, who specialise in livestock breeding and meat wholesaling from their land at Killerwick Grange for a change of use of an agricultural building to include direct sales to the public. The building in their 220 acres of land, currently used as part agricultural and part dry storage, will now be converted into a meat cutting storage and distribution facility.
