Greater Norwich Local Plan

In 2018 the Greater Norwich partners began work to create a new local plan, taking planned growth into account from 2018 - 2038. The Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP) was formally adopted by all three partners in March 2024 and now supersedes the Joint Core Strategy (JCS).

This plan builds on the extensive experience of Greater Norwich's joint working to identify where growth and new infrastructure is needed from 2018 to 2038. The ambition is that the GNLP will make sure that our unique area continues to be well-planned, so that growth brings with it benefits for all and provides for a sustainable future. 

The plan sets out to deliver high-quality homes, along with a broad range of new jobs and supporting infrastructure, including green infrastructure, roads, schools, health care and broadband connectivity. The plan includes a range of policies which will ensure that the development is in the best locations to support our existing communities and to create thriving new communities, as well as making sure that development is well-designed, and is sustainable. The approach to growth set out in this plan means that we will build better, stronger, and greener.
