King Charles has approved plans for a luxury glamping site to be installed on Sandringham Estate, with a total of 15 safari tents.
Royal sources say the King has to give approval for anything built on the 20,000-acre estate, which is set in a Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is home to the Grade-II listed Sandringham House.
One royal source confirmed the tents would be ‘ultra-luxurious’ and ‘nice enough for the royals themselves to stay in’, according to The Sun.
Should the planning application be approved by The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, up to 15 tents could be pitched in a woodland area on the estate, as well as the addition of a further 28 touring caravan pitches and 12 camping pitches. All-weather pitches and new toilet blocks are also under consideration for the existing site.
The result of the application is expected by mid-April, according to The Daily Mail.
A planning statement estimates that the site could generate approximately £4.94 million for the local economy if the glamping village comes to fruition and it reaches “mature occupancy”.
