Search the Public Notice PortalGovernment officials have been called in to rule over a glamping site dispute on a 19th century mill estate.
Iain Gwynn had submitted a proposal to South Norfolk Council earlier this year for the new site at Earsham Mill, near Bungay.
The plans included three one-bed rustic and dog-friendly cabins manufactured by a craftsman from a workshop on the estate.
But the council quashed the bid over concerns the area could flood.
So Mr Gwynn has appealed his case to the Planning Inspectorate, the government organisation which oversees such disputes.

The scheme is intended to offer a "peaceful and relaxing retreat" suitable for weekend trips and short breaks, and would allow guests to "disconnect and enjoy the history that the site and area offer".
The planning papers said: "We believe cabins provide an ecologically viable accommodation solution, suited to the area.”
But the council had ruled that the bid had "failed to demonstrate that the development would not be at risk from unacceptable flood risk."
It added that there was insufficient information on the design of the holiday units as well.
