Popular bakery shop Greggs application to spruce up its most recently opened store with new signage has been given the green light.

It means a five-metre tall, double-sided sign, will come with Greggs' recognisable lettering and be erected on the grass verge at the corner of Mason Road and Mile Cross Road.

The application, sent to Norwich City Council on August 22, also includes three other fascia signs - both square and rectangular - to go up around the site.

The national chain initially applied in March this year to turn the former HSBC bank in Mile Cross Lane into one of its bakeries.

The proposal was accepted two months later by the council and welcomed new customers at the end of June.

It's the 11th Greggs in and around the city centre and comes two years after the chain opened its biggest store in Norfolk in White Lion Street.
