In August, more than 90 firefighters tackled a large fire which caused extensive damage to the derelict holiday park.

Following that blaze, the owner of the site was advised they needed to secure the site.

Great Yarmouth Borough Council had advised that landowners North Trust, based in Chorley, needed secure the perimeter of the 22-acre site.

The council also said, at that time, that it was working with the company to ensure it is aware of its responsibilities as a land owner.
