Sites offered for development in 2018
In 2014, South Norfolk Council published its Local Plan. The plan suggested that 10 to 20 houses should be built in LM over the next 10 years. The development at Ringwood Close provided 20 houses, 6 of which were 'affordable'. Subsequent developments at Limes Close and All Saints (each of 30 houses) were allowed because there was judged to be a shortfall in the housing supply for the Greater Norwich Development Area. Recently, a planning inspector overruled SNC and gave permission for 30 more houses to be built south of School Lane because the inspector considered that there was still a shortfall in the housing supply. So 110 houses will be built in LM instead of the 20 that were planned.
