PLANNERS have given the go-ahead for Gilberts End Barn, Hanley Castle, near Malvern, to be converted into a home.

The application was delegated by planners to the head of Malvern Hills District Council's planning department for approval.

Planners also delegated listed building consent for the scheme - which also involves the demolition and re-siting of a large shed on the site - to the council's head of planning.

The plans also involve alterations to access, a garden store and carport.
