Broadland District Council's Strategic and Delivery Plan

Our strategic plan was agreed on 22 February 2024. The updated delivery plan for 2026-2028 was agreed by Council on 19 February 2026.

The main priorities we are focusing on are:

Further develop work to deliver a new community hub, including a GP surgery, in Taverham.
Develop work to deliver a new community hub in North Rackheath.
Deliver recycling initiatives to improve our recycling rates.
Optimise council owned land to include the implementation of a biodiversity action plan.
Work further with Town and Parish Councils to strengthen collaboration engaging our communities and improving service delivery.
Complete our new visitor centre and café at Broadland Country Park, developing our management partnership with Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
Preparing for Local Government Reorganisation in a way that best represents Broadland’s interests.

Since launching our Business Builder scheme in 2022, we have helped over 200 businesses secure grants totalling over £1,000,000. This investment has accelerated growth, supported start-up companies, created jobs, and is boosting the local economy.
Invested in housing, expanding our temporary accommodation to 70 homes.
Declared a biodiversity emergency and have since set up grants for different initiatives that residents can take up to reduce carbon emissions and promote biodiversity across Broadland.
Worked with partner organisations to enable places such as Brundall, Blofield, and Strumpshaw to become Mindful Towns and Villages, supporting residents with their mental health.
Redeveloped Frettenham waste depot.
Partnered to fund the purchase and protection of Buckenham Woods, supported by a 5-year Woodland Management Programme.
Invested in Broadland Country Park, including beginning work to expand the park to include Drayton Dreway and establishing a management partnership with Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
