A Brundall woman has submitted plans to Broadland District Council to open a Finnish-style sauna business in her back garden.

Haley Glennie-Smith has submitted planning application to Broadland District Council to open a Finnish sauna business at her home in Brundall. The proposal would convert existing outbuildings into a Finnish-style sauna and cold-plunge experience, making use of her existing garage, summerhouse and family sauna.

Guests would need to book sessions in advance and facilities would be available only for private groups of two to four people, with a maximum of six guests. The business would also offer wellbeing therapies including yoga, reiki and massage in the garage and studio space.

Ms Glennie-Smith said the venture would make use of her '100-year-old established atmospheric garden', which is near Brundall Countryside Park. In planning documents, she stated the aim was to offer 'a little slice of restorative wellbeing' to the community. No new buildings are proposed, no changes to the appearance of existing buildings are planned, and no new fencing or boundary enclosures will be installed.
