We are preparing a new Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP 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.

Broadland District, Norwich City and South Norfolk Councils have each published their notice of intention to commence preparation of the Greater Norwich Local Plan 2045 and have recently commenced a Scoping Consultation which will run from 17 August to 28 September 2026.

As part of early preparatory work a ‘Call for Sites’ took place between 9 February – 23 March 2026 and reopened from 15 June – 13 July 2026. The Call for Sites is not currently open for further site submissions, but a register of submitted sites is now available to view for information only at this stage.
