A pub is set to turn part of its restaurant into holiday lets.

Fenland Council has approved plans for new accommodation at the Oliver Twist at Guyhirn, near Wisbech.

A planning statement said: "The proposal involves the change of use of part of the restaurant area of the existing Oliver Twist to form four units of holiday accommodation.

"It will allow for the diversification of the business to help to sustain the existing village pub and restaurant."

A planning officer's report said eight letters of support had been received.

They said the holiday lets would add to the local economy, support local business and create jobs, along with safeguarding the future of the pub.

The bar and part of the restaurant area will remain at the pub, on High Road.
