The former Manor House surgery in Long Stratton would become a family home under plans lodged with South Norfolk Council.

The surgery, on the A140, closed more than two years ago, exacerbating the shortage of dentists blighting the county, which has been described as a "dental desert".

But rather than reopening its doors to patients, the treatment rooms at Manor House are now set to be turned into bedrooms.

The new plans seek permission from South Norfolk Council to change the use of the building from commercial to residential.
