Now a lettings company has applied for the retrospective go-ahead to keep it.

Hall Property Rentals hopes to continue using the building on Kitchener Street, off the Saddlebow Road in King's Lynn.

A planning statement says it would allow a previously-disused building to provide single person's accommodation, which is in demand in the area.

It adds the building was formerly used as a store by the neighbouring property until 2023.

Since then it has been used as "overflow accommodation".

Plans show a sitting room, kitchen, toilet and shower on the ground floor, with a single bedroom in the roof space, described as "modest".

A decision from West Norfolk Council is expected later this year.
