AN agricultural barn at a farm is set to be converted into a new home after plans were given the greenlight.

Nick Glendinning of Nest Development submitted an application for the scheme at Bluehouse Farm in Bradfield Road, Wix.

Tendring Council has agreed to the changes which include a large garden and parking provision.

Wix Parish Council did not comment on the plans and there was one letter of objection.

One of the conditions imposed is a comprehensive landscaping scheme to partly screen the new property as well as enhance the area.
