One of Norfolk s last surviving windmills could soon have a permanent campsite.
Seasonal pitches which do not need planning permission have been offered at Bircham Windmill at Great Bircham, near King s Lynn, for the last five years.
Now Stevie and Elly Chalmers, who have run the heritage attraction for 20 years, have applied to operate a permanent site.
The couple have applied to site 45 pitches, 35 for tents and 10 for tents or small campervans, on an eight-acre pasture beside the mill on Snettisham Road. They have also applied to put up an amenity building housing showers, toilets and washing up area.

SIR – What looked like the eternally insoluble problem of the Irish border was finally sorted out due in part to having “outside” impartial help. Let the EU and UK admit to needing such a pair of hands before it is too late.

SIR – Even now, it would be a good idea to try to postpone Brexit, while we remain in the transition stage.
Britain is facing at least two much more urgent issues: the large number of empty shops in what used to be flourishing high streets and the coronavirus. The virus is a worldwide problem, which calls for international co-operation. It cannot be solved if every nation adopts its own solution.
