Plans have been revealed for a new housing development in Workington.

Gowan Boyd, of Fernleigh Close, Seaton, wants to demolish Chandlers warehouse on Stanley Street and replace the buildings with homes.

He applied to Allerdale council for permission.

Ken Thompson, agent for Mr Boyd, said: "The current application is in outline format and although there are no fixed plans regarding exact numbers of dwellings to be built, the site lends itself to proving 6-8 split level town houses with parking on the lower ground floor area and access from Stanley Street, and possibly designed to have a façade that reflects its harbourside location and the historic past of the site."

The site is around 0.17 acres.

A consultation has been launched into the plans by Allerdale council and people have time to comment until August 26.

Workington Town Council said they had no objection to the plans.
