A seafront bar has got the go-ahead for a roof terrace despite objections from neighbours.

West Norfolk Council has agreed planning permission for the extension to the Waterside, at Hunstanton.

It comes despite five objections from people living in nearby properties, who feared customers would be able to see into their homes.

"Some people like to walk around with no clothes on and I don't think they will be too happy with people looking into their personal space," one said.

The terrace will give customers panoramic views of the beach and The Wash, along with the resort's famed sunsets.

Hunstanton Town Council supported the application.

The Waterside, which has steps down to the beach, dates back to the coming of the railway to Hunstanton in the 1890s.

It was originally built as the refreshment hall and waiting room for the town's once busy station, which closed to passengers in 1969.

Now it is the only substantial railway building remaining in Hunstanton, apart from a former coal office on a nearby car park.
