A planning application has been submitted to convert a barn on a farm in Charterhouse into a four-bedroom house.

The application for the change of use of an agricultural building to a dwelling house at Ubley Drove Farm, Ubley Drove, Charterhouse, was submitted by Jamie Daly.

The plan is to convert the single-storey barn into a four-bedroom home, while retaining much of the external look of the barn.

According to the application, local materials will be used in the conversion by local craftsmen, with an emphasis on the use of recycled materials and solar panels.
