Application passed for new flats in Hunstanton

An application has been unanimously passed by the borough council’s planning committee for 16 new flats in Hunstanton.

This will see the flats take up the site which was once occupied by the old print works, Whitleys Stationers Press, on Church Street.

Most of the flats will have two beds with the exception of one which will have a single bed.

There will also be associated car parking for the residents at the rear.

A resident living near the site told the committee on Monday morning that she welcomes having new neighbours in the area.

She added that the houses should be constructed without delay as it would not only benefit Church Street, but the town centre too.

The site lies within the Hunstanton Conservation Area.

After a four-month period for the application had expired, approval was sought for an alternative approach to secure planning obligations.
