Planning committee
Decided by Breckland Planning Committee on 19 May 2026. Earlier deferred on 21 Apr 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the evidence showed the development could not viably provide affordable housing and full contributions.
- The town council objected, questioning the viability evidence and the lack of affordable housing and other contributions.
- Members voted 6–4 against approval and refused the application because affordable housing and open-space contributions were insufficient.
