A public toilet which has been closed for almost a year after a car crashed into it is set to be replaced.
The Albert Street car park toilets in Holt suffered major damage when a Volvo hit the building in November 2022.
Now, North Norfolk District Council’s planning committee is expected to approve the demolition and replacement of the structure at a meeting on Thursday.
Since the damage occurred a temporary toilet has been in use.
Recommending the scheme for approval, NNDC planning officials said: “The proposed development involves the replacement of the existing toilet facilities with new public toilet facilities.
“This type of development is acceptable in principle in this location.
“It is considered that due to the traditional form and type of design, and similar scale and footprint to the former building it replaces, the proposed development is considered to be in keeping with the character and appearance of its context.”
Earlier this year the council set a £370,000 budget for the work, with £120,000 of that set to come from insurance.
