PLANS have been submitted to convert a terraced house in Barrow town centre into eight flats.

An application has been submitted to Barrow Borough Council to convert end terrace 52 Manchester Street into a development of eight flats.

The flats will each have an en suite bathroom and will share lounge, kitchen and dining facilities.

The application, submitted by Carl Waters from Millom, states: "The development is intended to provide reasonable cost, multiple occupancy and high quality self-contained residential property for rental purposes."

A decision on the application is expected to be made by March 20.
