A plan to build 226 new homes in part of King’s Lynn has been approved.
They will be constructed on the Parkway site in Gaywood and will vary in size from 1 to 4 bedrooms.
The borough council says 15 per cent of the development will be affordable housing, of which 70 per cent of those will be for affordable rent.
Stuart Dark MBE, leader of the council, said: “This is an excellent scheme that delivers on many levels – addressing housing needs, affordability, sustainability and the highest environmental standards.
“By developing the site ourselves, we have put together a scheme that shows what can be done in west Norfolk. We’re investing £1.7m in environmental measures that go above and beyond what is currently required so we can deliver some of the greenest homes ever built in the borough.
“It’s also close to almost all of the amenities King’s Lynn has to offer and that makes it a really sustainable site.
“We have listened to what local people told us about the original plan and have come up with a different approach. The new scheme covers a smaller area and we will invest in and improve on green space that would previously have been built on.”
