West Norfolk council has agreed planning permission for the redevelopment of the Favorit Motor Company, on London Road, King's Lynn.

It added: "The proposal has been designed to enhance and preserve the character of the area and have minimal impact on the surrounding street scene."

Earlier plans were amended, with windows being altered after concerns were raised over privacy.

The statement said the development was sustainable "due to its proximity to amenities such as public transport, shops, job opportunities, hospitals and schools".

It adds the development does not need parking for the same reasons.
