Wind turbine site visit

PLANNERS are to visit the site of a proposed new wind turbine to assess its suitability.

A single 67-metre high turbine is proposed for land to the north east of Middle Gill Farm, Howgate, near Whitehaven.

It is expected that members of Copeland Council’s planning panel will make a decision, following the visit, and their October meeting.

Play time plans

A CHILDREN’S soft play centre with a mini-bowling alley is planned for the Lillyhall Industrial Estate, creating six jobs.

Maria Baker, of Whitehaven, has submitted plans to Allerdale Council for the change of use of the units on Blackwood Road. It will create two full-time and four part-time jobs.

The plans include a large soft play area, a baby and toddler soft play area, two party rooms and an arcade room with rides and games plus a two-lane bowling alley.
