Plans for holiday cabins and a swimming pool look set to get the go-ahead on part of a deer park.

Stanton Farms applied to build the accommodation for two couples and two families and convert a barn into a reception area at Park Farm at Snettisham, near King's Lynn.

Councillors on West Norfolk's planning committee have been recommended to approve the proposals when they meet on Monday, July 31.

A planning officer's report says: "The proposal seeks permission for the change of use of land from a deer park to a holiday park with the creation of four modular cabins, together with associated infrastructure, and alterations, including the change of use of, an existing agricultural barn to serve as an arrivals building and facilities hub and the creation of an outdoor swimming pool."

It says the site is located in "an existing, successful, tourism operation" set up to diversify the farm.

It adds: "The ambition of this application is to deliver high-quality tourism accommodation which uses the existing setting of the deer park and lake to provide a unique experience."

Snettisham Parish Council objected, saying the new accommodation would cause traffic to increase on St Thomas Lane.

But county highways said it would only lead to "a small increase in vehicle movements".

The report said the cabins are of "a sensitive and modest scale" and the scheme "demonstrates a high standard of design in terms of layout, screening and landscaping" which will have "minimal" adverse impacts on the landscape.

It adds the site is well-screened by trees and hedgerows and is more than 800m from the nearest house.

The report says the council's policy is to promote smaller-scale tourism opportunities in rural areas to sustain the local economy, providing these are in sustainable locations and are not detrimental to the environment.
