A planning dispute has escalated after the local council declared that alterations to a luxury rental property breach the human rights of Women's Institute members. Wells Town Council has formally objected to retrospective planning permission sought by architect Tom Leahy for modifications to his £4,000-per-week holiday let. The controversy centres on unauthorised changes including a repositioned swimming pool and newly installed hot tub at the converted former youth hostel. Eighteen objections have been submitted against the planning application, with residents expressing concerns about the property becoming "an outdoor activity centre with sleeping accommodation attached." North Norfolk District Council will determine the retrospective planning application at a later date.
