TWO holiday cottages and two shepherd huts could be developed on a landmark property near Langton Matravers, if plans are approved.

HPB Management Ltd has applied to Dorset Council for permission to build the homes and install the huts on land at Langton House.

The proposed holiday homes are three-bed properties, while the shepherd huts are intended to provide for a “more informal and self-contained type of holiday”.

The huts would be installed towards the north-east corner of the site, while the semi-detached houses would be built in the north-west corner.

The holiday homes would be constructed from Purbeck rubble-stone and render to “contribute to a well-anchored appearance that is harmonious within the natural landscape when viewed among the mature trees”, the application said.

Of the huts, it added: “Each of the double huts will comprise a double bedroom and bathroom, plus a living/dining/kitchen area.

“Given that the ground levels are slightly sloping, the huts will be positioned on a level concrete base, of no greater area than the huts themselves.”

A parking space would be provided for each hut, while parking for the holiday homes would be provided by an extension of the current spaces in the entrance drive.

The application comes after previous plans, that would have seen five holiday cottages built on the site, were withdrawn.
