The Beach Road homes are being demolished before they fall victim to the North Sea and as demolition work continues, proposals have now been lodged to reinstate the string of properties further inland.

But a group of residents are objecting to the replacement site off North Walsham Road, behind the village primary school, as they say the mix of three- and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes would be a blight to the picturesque entrance to Happisburgh.

They have also said the development will stifle any opportunity for the school to expand and cause traffic and parking problems.
