Plans have been agreed for a new holiday let on a five star-rated caravan park.

Developers named as Mr and Mrs Yallop have been given outline permission for a chalet bungalow on land on the King's Lynn Caravan and Camping Park off the A47 at North Runcton, near King's Lynn.

They said in a planning statement: "We are currently running a successful five star-rated family run holiday park, offering several types of self-catering accommodation and touring pitches catering for guests of all ages. We originally started as a grass field on the edge of our village.

"Looking towards the near future, we would like to add a chalet bungalow adjacent to our existing self-catering cottage, which we have been letting since 2005."

The couple say the site offers "an opportunity for an attractive sustainable development", suggesting it could accommodate a three to four bedroom property.

Detailed plans must now be agreed before work can begin.

But there’s something else that English wine producers are quietly doing extremely well and they’re doing it without so much as a glance across the Channel: tourism.
