A family feud that could have blocked an amusement arcade from getting a licence has ended amid animosity over its future ownership.

The Pink Palace in Scratby was granted permission to continue trading after the brother and sister came to an agreement shortly before the case was to go before the Great Yarmouth licencing committee.

The row began after the death of their father, who was the owner of the coastal destination.

The siblings became joint owners of the premises following his death but the pair fell out over the future of the business.

This led to one family member to object to the licencing application for the Pink Palace, which came amid an ongoing legal dispute between the pair.

It was argued that the other was looking to "maximise short-term profits" before a future sale of the business, without both side's agreement.

Great Yarmouth Council were set to wade into the family feud at the licencing meeting, having to decide one way or the other over whether or not to allow the Pink Palace to continue trading.

But since the objection was withdrawn, the licence was ultimately granted.
