Overview

• Plans seek permission in two separate east and south applications that will be determined independently.
• The scheme proposes 82 lodges, with 50 to the east alongside a new leisure hub in a modern extension and 32 to the south where a nine-hole golf course would be removed and a spa would replace the driving range.
• Capacity would rise to as many as 418 visitors, with lodges classified as caravans and the bar, restaurant, tennis court and bowling green retained.
• Parish councils and conservation bodies including the Norfolk and Suffolk Wildlife Trusts and the Norfolk Badger Trust have joined residents in filing more than 100 objections.
• Objectors cite the hamlet’s lack of buses, cycle lanes and local employment and warn of traffic, noise and safety risks, while the owner argues losses at the golf and driving range and limited overnight stays make redevelopment necessary for viability.
