FURIOUS locals have hit out at the owner of an Airbnb which they claim is used for “sex parties” and is a disgrace to their village.
Residents of Ormesby St Margaret near Great Yarmouth have had enough of the “unspeakable debauchery” carried out in the Airbnb .
The short term let has been operating in the town for three years, promoted as a “romantic hot tub coastal getaway with a sauna.”
Residents claim that the property has earned its “romantic” reputation after a string of guests used the property for wild romps.
Neighbours said that the outdoor hot tub and the garden are regularly used for sex sessions.
With the hot tub placed on a high decking in the garden people living nearby are often able to see the filthy action.
Neighbours have reportedly even been able to hear the debauchery.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council have launched an investigation into the short term let with neighbours coming out of the woodwork to complain.
It kicked off when a whistle-blower tipped off the local authority saying some of the building work on the property was carried out without the required permissions.
The owner, Chandler Harrod, has since been told he needs to apply for retrospective planning permission for the decking, a sauna outbuilding and the property’s trellis fencing.
The council’s planning portal was then immediately flooded with complaints from locals raising concerns over the raunchy guests behaviour.
One neighbour, Rosemary Vincent, told the Eastern Daily Press : “There is all sorts of debauchery there, which all the residents are aware of.
“I am 90 years old and I do not know how much longer I have left but I want to have a peaceful remainder of my life and do not need this hassle. I want to live at peace.”
“The owner of the building has breached so many planning rules , so they should close the holiday location down.”
Rosemary, 90, went on to claim that an act of debauchery took place at the property almost every day.
She said police had turned up before and that the property was noisy and used by drug users on occasion.
Another neighbour, John Huxford, has lived in his home that backs onto the Airbnb’s garden for 36 years.
He said the guests’ antics were making his life miserable, John is a full time carer for his wife and is forced to keep his windows closed.
John claims that all sorts of paraphernalia is thrown into his garden, beer cans, used condoms and litter have all been lobbed over the fence by partying guests.
Neighbours have been exposed to “sex parties” that last all night long and have witnessed drunken guests snort cocaine and smoke weed on the raised decking.
Council officials have agreed that the decking is too high and allows residents to see into neighbours gardens .
The owner of the Airbnb could now be forced to remove the sauna, decking and trellis.
Mr Harrod, who bought the property during the pandemic, claimed he didn’t know he needed planning permission to make changes to the home.
He is hopeful that he can resolve the issues with the local authority.
Mr Harrod claimed he was not aware of the neighbour’s many grievances .
