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.
