PERMISSION has been granted for a construction project at a Barrow forestry business.

An application was submitted to Barrow Borough Council to construct three buildings at land off Millwood Lane.

The council received objections which highlight potential residential use of the land, disturbance to wildlife from power tools, traffic generation and inadequate access.

Officers had recommended approval.

The council's planning committee members visited the site on January 14 before deciding to grant permission to the plans.
