A woman hopes to build a barn to store her collection of classic cars.

The collector, named in planning papers as Ms Aldridge, has applied for planning permission to construct it off Main Road at Brookville, near Thetford.

A planning statement says she is a keen collector of "modern classic vehicles" including cars and motorbikes, some of which are kept in an existing barn and shipping container.

It said the applicant proposed a new 18m x 12m barn which would be used to store vehicles as well as tractors used to work her land.

It adds: "It must be stressed that the proposed use is for a private collection of vehicles and does not in any constitute any form of commercial enterprise."

It says the area is currently used as a builder's yard and the new build will result in "a significant tidying up" of the site.
