Improvements are planned for a popular village hall to cut its running costs.

Fincham Memorial Hall Committee has applied to replace flat roofs at the front and rear of the property with tiled ones.

A heritage statement said the post-war building is considered "the social centre" of the village, near Downham Market.

"The proposed works seek to not only improve the facilities offered to the local community but to improve the thermal fabric of the existing building.

"This not only help reduce heat lost through the existing fabric, impacting upon the environment, but to also help reduce running costs for the charity who operate the building for the local community."

Solar panels are also proposed for the rear of the building, on the High Street, to help reduce its energy costs.

Internal alterations are also proposed to provide a new bar, kitchen, office, disabled toilet and lounge.
