Plans to convert an outbuilding in Whittington into a self contained “granny annexe” have been approved.

Permission had [already been granted](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/outbuilding-in-whittington-to-be-converted-into-new-home/) for the creation of a new home on the site at Ivy Cottage on Main Street.

But a planning statement said the proposals had changed from the original plans:

> “The needs of the family have changed, and it is the current intention that elderly members of the family are accommodated in a ‘granny annexe’ to be closer to the family.  
>  
> “The existing driveway will be utilised, if necessary to provide access to the converted, self-contained ‘granny annexe’ that is currently sited within the curtilage of Ivy House.”
