A planning application has been submitted to build 16 self contained flats and a shop unit on Mill Road in Great Yarmouth.

The revised scheme comes after a plan for the site was approved in 2014.

The original plan was for ten self contained flats and a shop unit.

The new proposal includes the addition of two more storeys to the rear block of flats to provide an additional six flats.

It was the site of PJ's warehouse which has been demolished since the original proposal.

The proposal is for the construction of two blocks of three storey flats.

Due to the nature of the site the ground floor will have no residential accommodation and will be utilized as car parking and bin storage for the flats.

The application has been submitted by a Mr W Harrison of Gorleston and a decision is expected to be made by May 18.
