Plans for a barn to be converted into three new homes in Dinder have been given the go-ahead by Mendip District Council.

A planning application for prior approval for the change of use of an agricultural building to three dwelling houses (use Class C3) at Crapnell Farm, Crapnell Lane, Dinder, had been submitted by the Trustees of the Dinder Estate.

The application site includes three existing agricultural buildings to the north east of the farm complex.

Two of the buildings will be removed and the north east building converted to three two-bedroom single-storey dwellings.

In approving the application, the planning officer's report said: "The existing building is considered to be capable of functioning as dwelling houses.

"The proposed building operations would consist of alterations to the extent reasonably necessary for the building to function as dwelling houses, and do not go beyond what can reasonably be considered a conversion."

Retrospective planning application for the erection of an agricultural building at Ebborways Farm, Pelting Drove, Priddy, has been applied for by Mrs C Dyke.

Works to trees in a Conservation Area T1 sycamore - remove to ground level, T2 laurel - remove to ground level at 3 The Court, Long Lane, Dinder, are wanted by Sophie Mills.
