Construction Trends in Broadland
Rackheath is the largest growth location in Broadland, with the wider Growth Triangle Area Action Plan allocating up to 3,850 additional homes off Wroxham Road alongside new schools, employment land and community space. A 300 home scheme at Rackheath, first approved in 2023, was reconsidered under the Greater Norwich Local Plan in 2025. A 2026 call for sites has also identified several employment land candidates in Horsford. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
