King Charles’ giant slurry pit plan sparks outrage near Sandringham
Plans for a large slurry pit near Prince William’s home on the Sandringham estate have sparked concerns among locals. The King Charles intends to build the facility to store animal waste as organic fertiliser for his fields. If approved, it would hold up to two million gallons of liquid manure.
The proposed pit, measuring 86 by 46 metres, would be surrounded by an 8ft embankment planted with wildflowers. Sandringham estate management submitted the plans, with manure sourced from local farms and livestock operations. However, Flitcham parish council has raised worries about safety risks and strong odours affecting nearby residents.
A decision on the slurry pit now rests with the borough council. If built, the facility would store waste for fertilising the King's farmland. The outcome will determine whether additional measures are needed to manage potential odours and safety issues.
