A former art gallery in Norfolk's poshest village is set to be turned into a home.

West Norfolk Council has agreed planning permission to convert the Grapevine Gallery at Burnham Market.

A design and access statement said: "The proposed works involve the demolition of an existing single story rear extension and replacement with a slightly larger extension to crate a usable kitchen area.

"It also involves the alteration of an internal staircase to provide better use of the internal space."

Planning papers say the current occupier of the gallery on Overy Road is giving up his lease because the property is too far from the village centre and has no footfall for trade.

A statement adds: "It is unlikely that this would improve with any future occupant as a commercial use."

The property, which dates back to the 17th century, was originally a house to which a shop front was added in the 1800s.
