WETWANG: Plans to erect five dwellings in the heart of the village look set to be approved by East Riding councillors tomorrow.

The scheme, for a site north of 30 Main Street, is being supported by Wetwang Parish Council but objections have been lodged by five residents.

The application is recommended for approval by East Riding planning officers in a report to go before the council's western area planning sub-committee on Tuesday.
