Officials at North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) have said the grand Larkfields property in Blakeney, which is the main prize in a charity draw for Comic Relief, has not been built to the approved plans.

The council's officers will now decide what course of action to take, which could include using powers to force changes to the property.

Entries for the prize draw closed last Sunday and the winner will be announced live on BBC One on Red Nose Day next month.

Council officers are due to meet next week to decide what action should be taken and it is not clear yet if the issue will be resolved before the winner is announced.

However, Omaze insist that whoever wins the grand three-bedroom property - built to resemble mansions found in the exclusive Hamptons area of Long Island - will not be landed with any costs to remedy any planning discrepancies.

The council has been investigating the property since an anonymous member of the public raised concerns earlier this month that it had not been built to the approved designs.

The home has featured extensively in television and online adverts for the prize draw, which have featured endorsements from a host of celebrities, including presenter Rylan Clark, chef Jamie Oliver, comedian Lenny Henry and presenter Davina McCall
