A true community

A true community

A true community

Norfolk has always been an area that revolves around community, from arts and crafts and village markets to small local pubs and summer fairs. Our concept looks to capture this sense of community and take it to the next level, mixing a high spec modern day environment with traditional community values.

Our vision is not simply to build a housing estate but a fully self sustaining village with a mix of uses at its heart. 5000 houses would provide enough critical mass to support a lively high street and active water front with local shops and cafes, healthcare, business premises, community facilities and schools. With most residents’ everyday needs catered for within a ten minute walk, the need to drive will be reduced and the environment will benefit too.
