BARNS and farm buildings for conversion feature among the latest local planning applications in villages around Dorchester – with planning decisions at Holworth, Grimstone and Affpuddle, Plush and Briantspuddle.

At Crossways an application has been granted to replace one bungalow on Dick o' th' Banks Road with three bungalows on the same plot.

Several neighbours and Crossways parish council had objected to the proposal as an overdevelopment of the site with concerns about access.
