A planning application has been submitted to turn barns on a farm in Hatfield into homes.

The plans would see an agricultural barn at Chestnut Farm in Woodfield Lane transformed into a four-bedroom home.

Two of the bedrooms would come with en suites, while the dwelling would also have a large kitchen, dining and family room, a sitting room and bathroom.

"The barns comprise concrete portal frames with masonry external walls and corrugated sheet roofing and part of the barn closest to the bungalow has been in ancillary use for domestic purposes ever since the family moved to the property," the application states.

"The barn is on agricultural land and was in agricultural use as part of an established agricultural business in compliance.

"The proposals do not extend the barn. The development proposed is contained within the existing envelope of the barn and utilises the current available footprint.

"The existing structural elements of the barn are retained and the development will not include anything other than the installation or replacement of windows, doors, roofs, exterior walls, water, drainage, electricity, gas and other services to the extent reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwelling."
