The building which previously housed the Two Brewers pub in St Nicholas Street, Diss, has been empty for years but could now become housing.

It dates back to the 16th century and was most recently occupied by the Number 11 restaurant, which closed in 2022.

Plans to change the use of the Grade II-listed premises have been lodged with South Norfolk Council.

The works on Lithcham Road in Great Dunham begin on Monday and are set to cause disruption for two weeks.

The roadworks will see the installation of "trial holes" for a new drainage system. 

They will be carried out between the Castle Acre Road junction and the Station Road junction.

Great Yarmouth's old tourist information centre could become a café.

Plans to turn Maritime House into a café have been submitted to the council by a Norfolk-based renovation company Kenzoku Properties.

The Grade II-listed building was initially used as a haven for shipwrecked sailors. 

The applicant has said the revamp will ensure the building's connection with its nautical past will remain through a "themed concept that recognises its rich history".

5. Former primary school to become housing

Trowse Primary School closed in 2020 and plans to turn the premises into nine houses and apartments were lodged in 2022. 

After some ongoing pushback, they have finally been approved. 

The scheme had been proposed by Norfolk County Council's own property company, Repton Property Developments.
