A house dubbed a hazard is set to be demolished as part of a scheme to redevelop the land around it.

Fenland District Council has agreed the property on Fridaybridge Road at Elm, near Wisbech, can be knocked down.

A report to councillors says there are plans for 10 new homes on land around the house but it was not previously included in the scheme.

"There is planning permission for the wider redevelopment of the whole site for residential development," a planning statement adds.

"The existing dwelling was not included within the red line and was not subject to redevelopment.

"The dwelling is in a state of significant disrepair and is considered a hazard.

"Its demolition would alleviate this risk and allow for the area to be made good for redevelopment scheme in the future."
