Plans are in place which could see another eight homes built in Fakenham.

The application, submitted to North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) by Christopher Yardley, seeks to construct eight houses at Cherry Corner off Thorpland Road.

It proposes six three-bedroom properties, as well as a pair of two-bedroom homes, with a mix of detached and semi-detached dwellings.

The homes would have parking to the standards required by policy, and garden areas of suitable dimensions.

Paperwork sent to NNDC outlines an onsite treatment unit for foul water to avoid impacting the local off-site sewage facility.

The proposed location for development covers two areas on the western side of Thorpland Road, currently separated by an existing home.

The two areas are closely associated and are said to form a "single logical housing zone".

NNDC will consider the merits of the scheme in due course.
