Plans for a new convenience store and petrol station in South Cumbria have taken a step forward.
The former Age UK shop on Lindale Road in Grange is set to be converted into a Spar with attached six-pump petrol station.
The existing buildings will be demolished to make way for the development.
Permission was granted in 2021 for the conversion and now James Hall and Company Limited has submitted proposals to Westmorland and Furness Council to add 15 CCTV cameras and one dome camera to the site.
The town council gave no objections to the proposals from James Hall and Co – which runs Spar – which has been in the works for more than a decade.
The original plans for the site to become a Booths supermarket later fell through.
The site, near the coastal town’s railway station, had been home to a charity superstore for four years and was a Toyota car dealership before that.
During the four years that Age UK South Lakeland ran its charity collection depot and shop at Lindale Road, it raised around £300,000 to plough back into its services for older people.
There will also be 19 car parking spaces and two electric charge points.
Fifteen full-time and 15 part-time staff are proposed, and the shop would be open 6am to 11pm, Monday to Sunday.
