The Greater Norwich Local Plan 2045

The Greater Norwich authorities (Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council and South Norfolk Council, working with Norfolk County Council) are preparing a new Local Plan.

This process is prompted by national planning reform and the government’s new method for calculating housing need. In addition, the government has introduced a new plan-making system, which changes the way local plans are prepared.
