Twenty new flats are to be built on Bounty Avenue in Maryport after plans were given the go-ahead.

Home Group submitted a proposal to build the mix of one and two-bedroom properties at its former office site.

The project, which is estimated to cost £1.8m, will replace a smaller housing unit which was previously on the site and was deemed unsuitable for use before its demolition.

There will also be 20 parking spaces and a lift currently in the building will be kept to provide access to flats on the first and second floors.
