Council planners have given the green light for a new holiday let to be created in Barford.

Warwick District Council has granted planning permission for a building on Wasperton Lane to be turned into a two-bedroom holiday cottage.

Currently the building is used as storage for the neighbouring house.

A similar application was approved in 2024 but the works were not started, so a new application had to be submitted.

"The conversion of the building, and its future use as a holiday let, will have no material impact on the character and appearance of the countryside," the application said.

Plans show one bedroom would be on the ground floor and the second on the first floor.

Some of the building would still be reserved for storage.

Signing off on the application, a council report said: ""It is considered the visual impacts of the development and impact on neighbouring amenity are acceptable and there would be adequate levels of amenity for future occupants of the holiday let.
