Buildings on a former pig farm are set to be turned into two new houses.

Developers named in planning papers as Mr and Mrs Sloan have been given planning permission to convert a piggery into a two-bed property and a larger barn used to store animal feed into a four-bed home at Upwell, near Downham Market.

A planning statement says the buildings on Millfield, off Town Street, will be given new windows, new doors, new floors and new internal walls.

It says: "The works proposed are very minimal and do not increase the volume, height or floor area of the existing barns."

It adds the buildings will be "converted into well-designed dwellings" within their existing footprint.

Their open-plan spaces will be converted into domestic rooms, with the larger of the two given an added first floor.
