Omaze house winner left in limbo over prize home
Vicky Curtis-Cresswell won a £6m luxury house in Blakeney, Norfolk, through an Omaze and Comic Relief raffle in March.
She is currently unable to access her prize due to an ongoing planning dispute initiated by an anonymous complaint.
North Norfolk District Council is investigating concerns that the house was not built to approved designs, with reports indicating it is larger than permitted and includes unapproved tennis courts and a swimming pool.
Omaze has submitted a pre-application and is preparing a retrospective planning application for the property.
Omaze guarantees that house winners will not incur any costs to remedy historical planning issues and that all prizes are transferred with good title.
