Omaze £6m Norfolk mansion at centre of planning row faces fresh setback

If something sounds too good to be real, it is probably so, so the proverb goes. And as a part of a lottery for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day, Vicky Curtis-Cresswell, who feels “pure joy ,, wins a host of 6 million pounds in Blakeyey in Norfolk.

Although he won the seven-bedroom house called Larkfields, almost six months ago, the 38-year-old female Wales finalist still did not receive the keys-and this month focus on a planning dispute on the property, waiting for a new axis after the weigher of the local Parish Council.

The planning order began when the northern Norfolk Regional Council took an anonymous clue, claiming that the mansion, which was broadcasted on television in 2020 as part of funny relief in March, violated the planning rules.

The three -acre land was approved for the home, but it was claimed that it did not contain a swimming pool, tennis site, summer, garage and a service room.

To address this, in July, he applied for a new planning to protect all parts of the property in July – but this month, Blakeyey Parish Council was met with an objection, which said that the design of the building should “protect the character of the countryside”.

If retrospective plans are not approved, Mrs. Curtis-Cresswell may mean that the parts of the mansion should be demolished before entering.

In June, Obaze spokesman said the company was working with the North Norfolk Regional Council. The company also said Mrs. Curtis-Cresswell guarantees that she would not have to buy relevant costs.

In the planning application, the intermediaries of the vehicle wrote: “After the correspondence claiming that it was not made in accordance with the permission of the development applied from the local planning authority. To address this, the retrospective application aims to make these issues regularly.”

“The suggestions shown are entirely in accordance with the character and scale of the existing housing and provide complementary development through the use of consistent materials. Therefore, we think that these additions have no significant impact on the character and appearance of the region.”

However, Blakeney Parish Council objected to the proposal. Katip Tracey Bayfield wrote that the building’s sitting and design should be controlled for the benefit of the local area, including the olmak Protecting the character of the rural and extraordinary natural beauty field ”.
