A barn on the Norfolk coast could be turned into a hotel.
Developer Nigel Marsh has applied for planning permission to convert a former grain store off the South Beach Road, at Heacham.
Planning papers on West Norfolk council's website say: "The proposal is for a small hotel. This is unlikely to cause any transport or highways impacts."
If given the go-ahead, the hotel would be built within the barn.
A structural engineer's report says: "The structure is suitable for use as a residential structure in that it forms a weathertight shell into which a dwelling unit can be added.
"However, the structure in itself is not a suitable means of supporting internal structural elements.
"In order to form a suitable dwelling unit, an internal shell will need to be formed from timber stud framing, such that it incorporates walls and ceilings."
A decision is expected from the council next year.
