Plans to turn a former coach house in north Cumbria into a café, wedding venue and events space have been approved.
The coach house at Kirklinton Hall, in Kirklinton, had previously been converted and now its owners want to turn it into a small cafe and events venue, creating four jobs.
The planning application, submitted to Cumberland Council, said the venue would help generate an income stream to allow the continued refurbishment and restoration of other listed buildings part of the estate.
It added: “While the building has previously been used for a number of small wedding gatherings throughout the year, other functions and events are facilitated.”
The cafe would be open from April 1 to October 30 each year, opening from 10am to 4pm Sundays to Thursdays.
The authority granted permission for the development this week.
