and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Oakmere Homes are seeking outline approval to build the houses on a 2.4-acre plot east of Arkholme Methodist Church in the village.
An earlier full application for the same number of homes was refused last year.

However, the city council has received objections from Morecambe and Lunesdale MP David Morris, Lancaster Rural North county councillor Phillippa Williamson and Kellet ward councillor Stuart Morris, raising concerns, as well as from 20 members of the public.
They say Arkholme is not a sustainable settlement, with few amenities and local schools and services already at capacity.
Meanwhile, Oakmere Homes are also hoping to secure outline planning consent to build 129 homes on a site off Fulwood Drive in Morecambe.
