"For the return trip, I was facing the ocean," he added.

An EIA gives planners information about potential effects on the environment before a formal planning application is made.The application said the new proposed development would "deliver a mix of much-needed family homes and a community hub that can offer an accessible local facility for the community" while protecting "existing sensitive habitats, such as areas of ancient woodland".

It said: "While the proposed development proposes a change in land use, predominantly from a vacant former theme park site to residential dwellings, this is in keeping with the surrounding environment."The area is characterised by development including residential dwellings to the west, and M6 to the east which is already an urbanised area and would therefore not distinctly change the character of the area."Camelot, which was closed after visitor numbers dwindled, was open for 29 years and was themed around Arthurian legend.

The derelict park has since been used to host pop-up events including a "zombie experience".A man and a dog who were trapped on a boat after it became wedged at a quay have been rescued by firefighters in Essex.

The man had been trying to dock at Mistley Quay, near Manningtree, but due to poor weather conditions on Wednesday night the boat was thrown off course.

Crews arrived just after 21:00 BST and found the boat wedged between a ship and the dock wall, approximately 12ft (3.7m) down due to the low tide."I didn't go to bed - I was just staring at the TV," he adds. "I just didn't know what to do."

The final death toll was later revealed to be 56. Fifty-four were Bradford supporters, while the other two were Lincoln fans Bill Stacey and Jim West. A stand at Lincoln's Sincil Bank ground is named after them as a lasting tribute.Helm recalls interviewing supporters later, including one man who was able to escape by clambering over the wall and onto the pitch, but who could only watch as his elderly father was fatally trapped, unable to make the climb himself.

"Those are the sort of chilling stories... it's sending a shiver up my spine now to be honest just talking about it," the commentator says, adding that he has never been able to look back at the footage of the day."It's still extremely raw, even 40 years on."
