Nine new homes approved for village near Wymondham

Despite people objecting to the plans and stating concerns that the increase in homes was “an overdevelopment” of the site, the council has permitted work to go ahead.

One of the properties will be a two-bed home, two will boast four bedrooms while the remaining six will be three-bed homes.

Developers Fleur Homes said: “The proposal will introduce an attractive development on an unused parcel of land at the edge of the village.”

The council has given the developers three years to start work at the site, from its approval on May 28.
