Eight new flats have been given the go-ahead in a seaside town.

Care Build Group applied to build a two-storey block of one and two-bedroom flats on the overgrown site off Manor Road, in Hunstanton.

The block was part of a larger proposal still under consideration including plans for a 70-bed care home.

Hunstanton Town Council supported the proposal. But it added it was concerned over the impact of parking in Manor Road and would like to see double yellow lines to ensure that the bus route remains clear of parked vehicles.

A planning officer's report said no objections had been received.

"The proposed application seeks permission for eight residential units in one of the borough’s main towns; an area where residential development is sought," it said.

"Whilst a standalone application, the development represents a complementary scheme, similar design and appearance, for a care home on an adjacent site.

"The development would not result in any unacceptable visual, highway, drainage or neighbour amenity issues and issues such as archaeological implications, ecology, biodiversity, tree protection and landscaping."
