A bid to open a new Starbucks in one of Norfolk's biggest villages has divided opinion among neighbours.

The planning application, submitted by James Fox, of Midpoint No 2 Ltd, is for a new drive-through cafe on land north of Beaufort Way in Bradwell.

The site is part of a retail centre on the Persimmon Homes development Bluebell Meadow which when completed will have 850 houses.

At first, the proposed new Starbucks was facing six objections from members of the public worried about extra traffic and litter.

"A local Starbucks will be great for my wellbeing," said one.

Another commented: "I feel Starbucks would be a perfect addition to the estate."

Bradwell Parish Council confirmed it is not objecting to the plans.

If the application is approved, the cafe would join Sainsbury's, Subway, InstaVolt, Rumbles Chip Shop and Golden Scissors Barbers which have been trading there for more than a year.

The proposals include 16 parking spaces, as well as jobs for eight full-time and 12 part-time employees.
