PROPERTY development star Sarah Beeny and her husband Graham Swift have resubmitted plans to change the use of a number of barns on their estate near Bruton.

The couple, who live at Stoney Stoke, have applied to change the use of a range of agricultural buildings at Stoke Farm to create five new homes.

Two barns will be converted into four dwellings – three two-bed and one three-bed – with another two barns converted into a single, five-bedroom home.

The application comes three years after a previous change of use application was approved by South Somerset District Council.
