Fresh development plans have been submitted by the new owner of an empty plot of land in Fakenham.

The site at 6-10 Norwich Road was purchased by a third owner in two years in September.

The site has planning permission dating back to 2020 for the development of six apartments, split into two blocks of three.

However, new plans - submitted by G & L Homes Ltd on behalf of the applicant - reveal permission is now being sought for a trio of three-bedroom, terraced homes.

Supporting documents state: “We were initially employed to take the current approval through to the construction stage, but encountered issues with building control in terms of achieving adequate means of escape from the second-floor flats.

"Alterations to the original scheme were explored but, due to the complexities of the proposed build, it was decided to look at an alternative scheme."
