A bid to build four houses could see the speed limit reduced on a south Norfolk road.

The planning application is to build the homes on the land north of High Road, Wortwell

Currently the road has a 40mph speed limit in this area, but it is proposed to extend the 30mph limit to the edge of the site in order to improve safety.

A heritage report said the two buildings either side of the site "are Grade II Listed, and the development of the site could impact their setting and therefore significance."

Plans state that the development "has been designed to emulate the form of the village, with the plots orientated to mimic adjacent properties".
