E N Suiter & Sons' proposal to construct four two-bedroom flats at 5 Wellesley Street, Lynn, has been rejected for the fourth time by West Norfolk Council. The council's planning officers expressed concerns that the development would not demonstrate good design, be overbearing for neighbors, and pose a flood risk.

The site has previously seen proposals for six houses in 2019 and five homes in 2024, both of which were also rejected. Local residents raised objections regarding the impact on their gardens and the nearby Salvation Army Hall. The authority's conservation officer criticized the design quality as inadequate and failing to enhance the area’s historic character.
