The quiet neighborhood of Norfolk has been disrupted by the antics of a group of rowdy Airbnb guests. Neighbors have reported hearing loud noise, including people having sex, late at night and early in the morning.
One neighbor, who wishes to remain anonymous, described the scene as "disgusting." They claim that beer cans, litter, and even a used condom have been thrown into their garden as a result of the partying.
The Airbnb in question has a 4.81 rating on the app, suggesting that not everyone has had a negative experience with the accommodation. However, the negative impact on the neighborhood has been significant.
The situation came to a head when a neighbor tipped off the local council about the construction of a sauna outbuilding and trellis fencing, which was built without the necessary permission. Council planners ordered the owner, Mr. Harrod, to remove the structures, but he has appealed the decision.
Despite the controversy, Mr. Harrod maintains that the Airbnb has been successful and has had nothing but positive conversations with his neighbors. However, the reality on the ground suggests a different story.
The Planning Inspectorate recently dismissed Mr. Harrod's appeal after a site visit, and it remains to be seen whether the owner will comply with the council's order to remove the unauthorized structures.
