TWO cowsheds on a Chaddesley Corbett farm will be converted into five houses if planners' recommendations are followed.

Swancote Farm wants to get rid of its livestock to concentrate on cereal production and the two cowsheds will no longer be suitable.

Planning officer Julia Summerfield said: "The proposed scheme is considered to be in keeping with the character of the original building and the listed farmhouse."

Wyre Forest District Council's planning (development control) committee votes on the application tonight.
