A new bungalow has been given the go-ahead in a prime coastal village.

West Norfolk Council's planning committee has agreed permission for the new three-bed property on land off Teal Close, at Snettisham.

While the property was described as of "modest proportions" in a report to councillors, Snettisham Parish Council objected to the plans, describing them as "over-development".

Three villagers also objected on grounds including the 500m sq site being too small.

But a planning statement said the new house would be set back between neighbouring properties.

It added: "The suggested layout reflects the characteristics of the adjacent development and tackles the site constraints.

"Careful consideration has been given to avoid overlooking or loss of privacy to adjoining occupants."

The land is currently vacant and used for the storage of building materials.
