A former village butcher's shop could be converted into a home.

Daniel Reed has applied for planning permission to turn the property in Methwold, near Thetford, into a one-bed property.

A planning statement says: "The site is situated on the northern side of the High Street and comprises the former butcher’s shop which has been vacant for some time now.

"The property is set back from the main road with a shared driveway. Surrounding properties have all been converted into residential use, most namely next door in 2015 which is now being sold as residential property."

It adds there will only be "minor changes" to the two-storey property.

A decision is expected from West Norfolk Council later this year.
