West Norfolk Council has received plans to redevelop the site at the corner of Howdale Road and Church Road, near the centre of Downham Market.

Four one-bedroom and two two-bed apartments would be incorporated in the two-storey building.

A planning statement said it would be within walking distance of the town centre.

It added: "Flats also diversify the local housing mix and addresses the housing need without the impacts of a large estate.

"Residential use of the site provides additional residents to support local shops and services and helps maintain Downham Market as a sustainable service centre."

It added it would use the site "more efficiently" and contribute to local housing supply.

A decision is expected from the council later this year.
