Plans have been drawn up to turn former barns in a Norfolk village into four new homes.

Proposals have been submitted to West Norfolk council to convert the properties at Harpley, near King's Lynn.

A planning statement says the fabric of the buildings, on Ravens Yard off Nethergate Street, will not be altered.

It adds: "The development of the site and change of use to residential properties as proposed will fit within the diverse housing accommodation offered within the village.

"The complex is within the designated rural village of Harpley which benefits from community assets including the village school, church, village hall, allotments and public house."

The statement says commercial use of the buildings is not viable. It adds a nearby building has been converted to a home after "numerous unsuccessful business ventures".

One two-bedroom property is proposed for the site, along with two three-bed and one four-bed homes. A decision is expected later this year.
