The owner of a Norfolk Broads pub has warned his venue could soon be "lost" due to a long-running planning feud.
Raymond Hollocks says the Beauchamp Arms, which sits on the banks of the River Yare near Langley, faces an uncertain future after losing three appeals against the Broads Authority.
The rulings mean he must get rid of a range of structures at the site which were found to be in breach of planning regulations, including a static caravan and workshop.
The controversial pub is currently also under investigation by South Norfolk Council, accused of failing to moderate noise levels during music events, and Mr Hollocks believes this, combined with the enforcement action, could be the final nail in the coffin for the business.
He had appealed to the Planning Inspectorate against three enforcement notices issued by the Broads Authority, relating to the construction of lighting columns, a workshop building, and the residential occupation of a static caravan.
Mr Hollocks has been found to be in breach of planning obligations in all three instances.

Prior to the ruling, he said: "We are forced to host music events as enforcement action by the Broads Authority stops our attempts at making the business viable with accommodation.
"If my appeals are lost and we stop the events then the Beauchamp Arms will be lost as an asset, delicensed and turned into a residential property."
It is one of several disputes he has been embroiled in with the authority on the waterways, including breaching regulations at Loddon Marina, which he has also recently lost an appeal against.
The ongoing rows have led him to claim the Broads Authority has a "personal vendetta" against him - an accusation that has been denied.
He will appear in court next year alongside his son, William Hollocks, having pleaded not guilty to failing to comply with another enforcement notice relating to the storage of static caravans next to the Beauchamp Arms.
