Planning

An informal approach has been made to Breckland District Council in respect of the possibility of conversion of the windmill and outbuilding into residential accommodation. The planners have indicated there may be some possibility subject to the buildings not being significantly extended or altered and taking into consideration Policy DC20 (Conversion of Buildings in the Countryside).
