PLANS to convert a former shepherd’s hut into holiday accommodation will be discussed by councillors this week. The plans are to convert the hut, at Rowley Farm, Ockeridge Lane, Holt Heath into holiday accommodation for visitors and was originally supposed to be for two such huts. However, after concerns were raised with the applicant surrounding its impact on the landscape, it was decided to reduce the number to just the single hut. According to planning documents, the shepherd hut would be sited on wheels and constructed of timber cladding and black corrugated metal sheeting for the roof. It would have a length of 6.71 metres and depth of 2.43 metres with the total height from ground level of 3.2 metres with a maximum floorspace of 17 square metres.
