A popular bakery chain has revealed plans to open in a Norfolk town centre.
Greggs is seeking permission from Breckland Council to move into the former QD Furniture Store in Swaffham's Market Place.
The budget retailer closed in December after just over two years in the town and the unit has been vacant since.
Currently, people living in Swaffham must travel to Dereham or Downham Market to reach their nearest Greggs outlet, following the closure of a branch at the town's service station.
The proposals would see part of the pavement in front of the shop used for outdoor customer seating, with two tables and eight chairs installed in the street.

This will be the 29th Greggs shop in Norfolk following the recent opening of a new branch in Norwich, at the former HSBC bank in Mile Cross Lane.
The expansion of the chain across the region has also resulted in rumours of new openings, which saw a fake letter widely circulated on social media stating the company was set to move into a vacant shop in Bungay.
Greggs dispelled the claims but a spokesman added it was always open to the possibility of launching new stores.
