King Charles has been given the go-ahead to build a huge slurry pit close to Prince William's Sandringham home, despite objections from neighbours who don't want a 'lagoon' of manure on their doorstep. Once complete, the 4,000 square-metre pit will provide a source of nutrient-rich organic fertiliser and reduce the need for chemical versions. Objecting to the planning application online, a second added: 'As a resident of Flitcham I am extremely concerned about the close proximity of the proposed slurry pit. 'The proposed development will deliver a new fertiliser storage lagoon to provide fertiliser storage capacity to serve the network of fields surrounding the application site.' King Charles took over the running of the 20,000 acre Sandringham estate when his father Prince Philip retired from public life in 2017.
