King risks stinking row with William over plans for giant slurry pit near the Prince’s home on Sandringham estate

The King risks a stinky argument with his son William by planning a giant mud pit near the Prince’s home on the Sandringham estate.

Villagers fear ‘unpleasant odors’ if councilors support huge lagoon containing up to two million gallons of liquid manure.

Council planning documents show that one of the houses closest to the lagoon was occupied by William, Kate and George II, children of Charlotte and Louis. It reveals that it will be Anmer Hall, a Grade II listed mansion.

Although the grounds of William’s Georgian home are just under a mile away, villagers suspect the Prince’s family will smell the mud.

A neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said: ‘We’re all used to the smell of farms around here but this lagoon is going to be huge.

‘Everyone is worried this will create a big stink. God knows what William and Kate think about this.

‘It is somewhat ironic that the landowner responsible for the plans was William’s father, the King.’

King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council is considering the plan and could give its approval.

The King wants to dig holes to store animal waste, which can be spread as organic fertilizer on his fields in north Norfolk.

The district council in Flitcham, just over a mile away in the opposite direction from William’s home, raised ‘valid concerns’.

Clerk Gill Welham told a recent church meeting there were concerns about ‘safety issues and unpleasant odors that would affect the village if the wind blew from this direction’.

Plans submitted by Sandringham Farms reveal the pit will be surrounded by a 2.5-metre berm lined with plants and wildflowers.

It will cover an area of ​​86 x 46 feet and can hold 2,160,538 gallons of slurry.

Some of the manure will come from the King’s sheep and cattle at Sandringham.

But plans suggest most of the sludge will be moved onto the land from other farms during the winter months.

County councilor Stuart Dark said the county could reject the plan or add conditions to it.

The Palace did not respond to a request for comment.
