A collector has been given the go-ahead to build a shed to store his vintage machinery.

West Norfolk council has agreed to planning permission for the 12m x 9m building on a private stretch of Birchfield Road at Nordelph, near Downham Market.

A planning statement on behalf of the applicant, named in planning papers as Mr L Bishop, said: "The applicant wishes to erect a storage shed on this piece of land, in which to keep a collection of vintage machinery and bygones, which is a hobby and pastime of the applicant.

"It should be reiterated that this is only a hobby and there is no commercial use involved."

Nordelph Parish Council said it supported the application. Permission was agreed for a similar building at a nearby farm in 2019.

The statement said there would be no increase in traffic as a result of the proposal.
