A new bungalow has been given the go-ahead in a village conservation area.

TB Developments has been given planning permission for the single-storey, three-bed home on land off the High Street at Fincham, near Downham Market.

It said in a planning statement: "The application site comprises a strip of grazing land and part of the access to Church Farm, the dwelling set well back from the High Street and the Church Farm Barns, recently approved for conversion to two dwellings.

"Care has been taken in the design and positioning of the bungalow on the site, to overcome any negative impact on the surrounding area."

A planning officer's report, which recommended approval,  said: "There are several listed heritage assets nearby.

"The houses Shrublands, Australian House and Barsham House are all located on the south side of high street.

"It is considered that the proposal, being on the opposite side of the road, located between existing development, will have no adverse effect on the setting of these listed houses."
