Sandringham Plans Two-Million-Gallon Slurry Lagoon Near Anmer Hall Under Council Review

Residents cite odour and safety risks during the borough's assessment.

Overview

  • Planning documents propose an 86 by 46 metre slurry lagoon with an eight-foot planted embankment and capacity of about 2,160,538 gallons.
  • The site lies just under a mile from Prince William and Princess Catherine’s Grade II-listed home, Anmer Hall, on the estate.
  • Flitcham parish representatives and neighbours have raised concerns about potential smells reaching the village and general safety.
  • King’s Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council is considering the application, with a county councillor saying it could be refused or approved with strict conditions.
  • The plans state slurry would come from Sandringham livestock with additional volumes likely brought in from other farms during winter, and the Palace has not commented.
