CONVERSIONS of farm buildings into homes have been approved at a site in Salwayash while other planning approvals include the reinstatement of a fire-damaged property in the grounds of Parnham House.

Among the refused applications is a proposal for the demolition of an existing cottage at Litton Cheney – to then be replaced by two semi-detached properties.

The applications are among the latest to be decided by Dorset Council in the west of the county.
