A 25 year long feud between a landowner and national park chiefs over development of the Norfolk Broads is heading for a court showdown. Businessman Raymond Hollocks, 70, owns three prominent sites on the broads and is engaged in protracted and bitter legal fights with the Broads Authority (BA) at each one.
The ongoing feud with the BA dates back a quarter of a century when Mr Hollocks first bought a site on the waterways. Mr Hollocks claims the BA has been pursuing a “personal vendetta” against him and is hampering his efforts to build viable businesses on the Broads.
After several years of back and forth, the row between the two sides is now set for a court showdown this summer. The latest case - due to be heard in August - sees Mr Hollocks face allegations of falling to abide by an enforcement notice to remove static caravans - but he said he will fight the claims all the way.
