Plans for two new homes beside a busy road have been turned down.
West Norfolk Council's planning committee has refused plans for two new properties between 56 and 58, Wootton Road, in King's Lynn.
Its decision notice says they would have led to "an unduly cramped form of development that would appear incongruous and would be harmful to the established form and character of the area".

A planning report also expressed concerns over the size of the amenity areas proposed for the new homes, which were described as being the size of a parking space.
"Whilst the areas proposed would be of a sufficient size to sit out in and perhaps dry washing, no other use would seem practical," it said.
A planning statement included with the planning application said the proposals were in "a highly sustainable location" and "an efficient and effective use of land".
