Controversial plans for houses on land in a south Norfolk village have been tipped for approval by planners.
Cripps Development is seeking permission to build four three-bedroom bungalows on land next to the Garden House pub in Hales.
The proposals have been recommended for approval, with conditions, by officers at South Norfolk Council.

The district council has received nine letters of objection from local residents whose concerns include traffic issues, the loss of mature shrubs and flooding. There has been one letter of support for the scheme.
