Broadland District Council's Strategic and Delivery Plan

Our original Strategic and Delivery Plans were agreed on 22 February 2024. Since then, the Delivery Plan has since been updated of the commitments set out in the first year of the plan inclusive of any commitments that have arisen since April 2024 and was agreed by Cabinet on 11 February 2025.

The main priorities we are focusing on are:

• Empowering individuals and communities
• Cleaner, greener Broadland
• Providing the right homes in the right places
• Sustainable resilient local economy
• A modern, caring Council safeguarding our future

What are our plans?

• Further develop in delivering for a new community hub, including a GP surgery, in Taverham.
• Look to utilise Broadland Growth Ltd to build an exemplar housing scheme, improving housing opportunities for our residents.
• Make bidding for council contracts more accessible to smaller local enterprises.
• 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 pilot environment friendly initiatives for our residents.
• Working on our new visitor centre and café at Broadland Country Park.

We have already:

• Launched our Business Builder scheme in 2022, we have helped over 200 businesses secure grants totalling almost £700,000. This investment has accelerated growth and supported start-up companies, created jobs, and is boosting the local economy.
• Invested in housing, expanding our temporary accommodation by investing over £2 million in seven new 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 towns such as Brundall, in becoming a Mindful Towns and Villages, supporting residents with their mental health.
