Norfolk approves 24-hour fuel station, hotel room conversion, housing, bridge closure, and year-round holiday parks.

North Norfolk District Council has approved 24-hour operations for the Fakenham Morrisons fuel station, with plans to expand the site to include a larger kiosk featuring Greggs and Burger King. The Maid's Head Hotel in Norwich will convert its Cavell Room into guest rooms, requiring structural repairs due to a 150mm floor height difference. In Dereham, Mr Stimpson has applied to build two four-bedroom homes on Swanton Road, near an existing 216-home development. Norfolk County Council proposed permanently welding shut a gate at the Grade II-listed New Mills Yard bridge in Norwich over safety concerns, with the Broads Authority supporting the move. Three holiday parks near Great Yarmouth—Ormesby Grange, Hemsby, and Long Beach—have been approved for year-round operation to support sustainable tourism and growing domestic holiday demand.
