PLANS to convert an outbuilding at a listed Soberton pub into guest houses are due to be determined this month.

The former stable block outside The White Lion, School Hill, is to be converted into accommodation under plans by Paul Gregory.

It is currently used as storage and is not part of the 18th century pub's grade II listing.

Planning consultant John Pike said: "The proposed alterations are considered to be of a relatively minor nature and would not have any material impact on the significance of the heritage asset that is the curtilage listed building and the primary listed building."

A decision is due from South Downs National Park Authority by October 29.
