CATTISTOCK: Permission is being asked to site a shepherd’s hut and a separate smaller bathroom hut at Metford Mill, Holway Lane.

The site is intending to become a centre for the conservation of rare breeds and a hub for arts and crafts.

The application, to Dorset Council, says the sleeping and living hut, with a separate smaller bathroom hut, would be sited at the edge of a meadow and could accommodate two people.

Comments on the proposal can be made until July 28th.
