A parish council is objecting to a bid to build three houses in a village near Great Yarmouth.

The proposed site for the scheme, which would also see the relocation of stables, is on land south of Manor Farm Cottage on Browston Lane in Browston.

Plans show the houses having two parking spaces each, as well as gardens and garages. 

But Belton with Browston Parish Council has raised concerns about "a total lack of infrastructure" in the village.

The parish council says the area does not have enough services or facilities including schools, doctors' surgeries and dentists, and is "therefore unsustainable with all occupants of the proposed houses wholly reliant on car ownership".

They also say it would be "totally unsuitable to add more traffic to a congestion spot".

Norfolk County Council Highways has not objected to the plan.

A document supporting the application states that the proposed dwellings would "constitute a tasteful and stylish addition to the locality which mirrors a similar scheme at the immediately adjacent plot".
