PLANS for a courier business have been withdrawn after objections from villagers.

The proposal for the alterations of buildings in Oran Lane, Catterick Village, were submitted to Richmondshire District Council.

Planning officers were recommending the plans be rejected after local residents signed a petition against the development.

Only internal building alterations were proposed to the farm store, including a workshop, kitchen, office, storeroom and toilet, with the yard used for parking.
