A Pilates studio that caused a stir among some villagers in Norfolk has been given the okay to operate for another year.

Owner of Luco Wellness, 24-year-old Megan Smith, sparked a bitter row after setting up a £30,000 Pilates studio on her grandparents’ £825,000 property.

The gym, named Luco Wellness after Megan’s dachshund Lulu and cockapoo Coco, opened its doors on November 3 and welcomed nearly 50 people in the space of a week.
