Browston Hall near Belton wants to convert its former indoor bowls green into a "classic" car sales showroom according to documents submitted to Great Yarmouth Borough Council.

A spokesman for Browston Hall confirmed the plans but said proposals were at an early stage and the showroom would not be completed for another 12 to 18 months.

The bowls club at Browston Hall closed 18 months ago but the 23-acre site still offers guests a range of sporting activities including golf and tennis.

The hall itself is a Grade II listed house and provides restaurant facilities and residential accommodation.

The complex is open year-round and hosts events including weddings and private functions.

A decision on the plans is expected to be made in July.
