A former Norwich city centre tapas bar is to become a new home after plans were given the green light.

The old site of Cocktails and World Tapas, which closed in 2019, is to become a two-storey, three-bedroom house after Norwich City Council gave plans the green light.

With access from both King Street and a private courtyard in Crown Road, the new house will feature an office toilet and kitchen on the ground floor, with the bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor.
