A STUD farm in Littleton has applied for permission for a workers’ building.

Masons Stud wants to build the detached dwelling at land in Littleton Lane.

The application has eight support letters. One said: “I would think it was crucial for the future of the stud that someone should now live on site. It would help ensure its continuation for future generations.”

Another said: “Sadly theft of horses, horseboxes and tack is common and the security of the yard would be much improved if the owner was present overnight.”

The determination deadline is August 26.
