Construction Trends in North Norfolk
North Norfolk's new Local Plan, covering 2024 to 2040, was adopted in December 2025 and replaces the district's previous plans entirely, setting a minimum requirement of 8,900 new homes. The council reported a 7.3 year housing land supply in October 2025 against an annual requirement of 557 homes. Under new national planning legislation, the council must now begin a Local Plan review focused on how further housing and economic growth can be delivered across its market towns. Away from these towns, established villages keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
