A village butchers shop is set to be turned into homes after a family business relocates.
Priors of West Lynn, near King's Lynn, is set to leave its St Peters Road premises and move to a larger site on Clenchwarton Road.
Now West Norfolk Council has agreed plans to demolish the existing shop to make way for two three-bedroom homes.

A planning statement said: "The proposal is to make good the existing brownfield site following removal of the shop unit and all ancillary outbuildings.
"Currently used as a busy commercial premises it is believed the proposal will have no greater intensification on traffic movement and likely to be reduced when used for residential purposes."
Priors of West Lynn first set up shop on St Peters Road in 1956. Almost 70 years later, the business is set to reopen on its new purpose-built site in the spring.
