We are preparing to review the Greater Norwich Local Plan

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. As part of the early preparation stage before work on the new plan begins, the Greater Norwich authorities are undertaking a 'Call for Sites', the first stage of which took place between 9 February – 23 March 2026.

The Call for Sites will reopen from 15th June – 13th July 2026 and further site submissions are invited.  

Please see more information on the Call for Sites page
