The site of a rural house fire could have a new four-bed home built on it if a planning application is approved.
Plans have been submitted to East Cambridgeshire District Council for the property to be built at Bells Drove, between Welney and Littleport.
A planning statement with the application says: “... the application seeks permission for one planning unit to replace the existing dwelling that was significantly damaged by a fire and had to be subsequently demolished due to a health and safety risk.
“The replacement dwelling will be two storeys in height, replacing the existing two-storey dwelling.
“The form and design of the proposal is of a simple traditional architectural design that complements and reflect the rural character of the site and neighbouring properties.
“The proposed dwelling will incorporate high-quality materials and will be built to modern standards.”
