She waited 7 months for 6m Omaze home - now she's selling
"Blakeney Parish Council expressed concerns over the developments, stating the importance of adhering to planning policies to preserve the area's character. Chair Rosemary Thew stated that the planning application for the Omaze home should be rejected to "send a clear message that planning processes must be adhered to," highlighting that the size of Larkfields had "increased considerably" and that the modifications failed to preserve and enhance the conservation area."
"Development Committee chair Paul Heinrich said the fact the application was retrospective wasn't a reason to refuse it, adding: "There are no policy reasons why this should be rejected." Planning officers said the pool and summer house could have been built under permitted development rights, while the tennis court and garage required consent but were acceptable in scale and appearance."
The winner of a £6m Omaze mansion in Blakeney may now move in after North Norfolk District Council granted retrospective permission for a pool, tennis court and garage, ending a seven-month dispute. The winner, Vicky Curtis-Cresswell, plans to sell the luxury property and buy a family home in Wales. Blakeney Parish Council raised concerns about adherence to planning policies and the impact on the conservation area, noting Larkfields had increased considerably. Committee chair Paul Heinrich and planning officers judged the retrospective application acceptable, noting permitted development rights for the pool and summer house and acceptable scale for other additions.
