\n Plans were put forward by Mr and Mrs Harmer for the property on Walsingham Road in East Barsham near Fakenham.\n<\/p>\n
\n The bungalow, likely built in the 1950s or 1960s, is described as being in “very poor condition”.\n<\/p>\n
\n Planning papers highlighted the lack of planned maintenance or refurbishment to the site, other than installing uPVC casement windows.\n<\/p>\n
\n The property (pictured in April 2023) will be replaced with a new one-and-a-half storey home (Image: Google)\n<\/p>\n
\n There were also overgrown hedges which had given the site “a highly unattractive appearance”.\n<\/p>\n
\n Under the new proposals, the build will be one-and-a-half storeys tall with an ‘H’-shaped footprint made up of two unequally sized wings.\n<\/p>\n
\n The southern wing is the larger of the two, containing the bedrooms and shower rooms across two floors.\n<\/p>\n
\n The northern wing would consist of the main living areas, including a kitchen, dining room, living room, and utility room.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n Other features planned for the home include a detached garage and two garden areas.\n<\/p>\n
\n The building, described as “oil-heated” and “thermally inefficient”, would also be replaced with an energy efficient site, featuring solar panels and rainwater harvesting for garden and external washing use.\n<\/p>\n
\n Previous proposals were put forward for the home last year, but these were withdrawn.\n<\/p>\n
\n A design and access statement said the proposal will bring forward a replacement home “more suited to contemporary occupation”.\n<\/p>\n
\n North Norfolk District Council will make a decision on the plans at a later date (Image: Newsquest)\n<\/p>\n
\n The statement added that the home will have “no significant economic impact” but will provide” a short-term benefit and support to local services and trades”.\n<\/p>\n
\n It continued: “The replacement would also offer a chance to entirely remediate the plot by the complete removal of the unnatural ‘over-burden’ created by the former occupant”.\n<\/p>\n
\n North Norfolk District Council is due to make a decision on the plans at a later date.\n<\/p>\n
