Cumbria approved new infrastructure, housing, and renewable energy projects across multiple towns.

This week, Cumbria saw multiple planning applications across West, North, and Barrow-in-Furness areas, including telecom poles, utility work, farm buildings, housing extensions, and community projects. Key developments include a new vat room at Aspatria Creamery, a lattice mast near Roadhead, and changes to existing permissions for commercial and residential uses. Requests for environmental assessments were filed for solar and renewable energy projects, while infrastructure upgrades and signage changes were proposed at hospitals, railway stations, and churches.
