Norwich s Junkyard Market has been granted permission to remain in place for 12 months - by the narrowest of margins.
The decision came down to the casting vote of Norwich City Council’s planning committee chairman - after councillors heard complaints from some of its neighbours.
The pop-up food and drinks market, based in the car park of St Mary s Works, runs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
But there are limits on how often it can operate over a year, so Afterdark Promotions sought permission from City Hall to temporarily change the use from a car park to an outdoor events venue/food market for 12 months.

Popular street food event Junkyard Market has raised over £15,000 for the Priscilla Bacon Hospice appeal, which will fund a state-of-the-art palliative care unit in Norwich.
It first launched last summer, returning again at Christmas, and combines local food and drink vendors with those from further afield.

The longer-term future of Norwich s Junkyard Market is in the hands of city councillors, following objections to its plans.
The pop-up food and drinks market is based in the car park of St Mary s Works, and runs under a permanent licence on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
But there are limits on how often it can operate over a year, so Afterdark Promotions has sought permission from City Hall to temporarily change the use from a car park to an outdoor events venue/food market for 12 months.
