Plans to convert and extended an agricultural building into a home have been submitted to the council.

Mid Suffolk and Babergh Council received the application last week which would see the changes made at Brambles Barn in Nettlestead Road, Baylham.

Consultations will now take place in the coming weeks to determine if the proposal is given planning permission.

The agricultural building would turn into a three-bedroom home with a ground floor extension added to the back of the existing property.

Off Nettlestead Road, the agricultural building is next to Baylham common, further down from Brambles Barn.

Planning documents state: "Currently, the building comprises a single storey timber frame barn of rectangular plan form comprising a metal clad duo pitched roof overlying load bearing timber frame walls.

"The entire building has been constructed on a reinforced concrete raft foundation, bearing onto a layer of compacted granular material."

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service stated that the nearest fire hydrant in this location exceeds the recommended distance from the proposed build site - and consideration around the issue would be needed.
