From the planning register of Lake District, read by Town Planner Pro. Descriptions are the council’s own words; some registers cut them short in their lists. No applicant’s or agent’s details are kept, and a personal name within a description is shown as [name]. The council’s register is the record: check its own page before relying on an entry.
