Broadland Housing Association
Homes, community & support since 1963
Working with North Norfolk District Council, we have completed a mixed-tenure scheme of 11 homes on Wells Road in Hindringham, Norfolk.
The new scheme includes:
The homes provide a mix of 7 affordable rent and 4 market sales properties. Building materials include brick, flint and timber, with clay roof tiles, to blend in with the local architecture.
Our new development at Northrepps has been completed, comprising of 19 operationally net zero homes after an 18-month project.
The 19 new homes were designed by architects Ingleton Wood and built by Norwich-based contractor Smith of Honingham.
These new homes are designed to be highly energy-efficient, featuring insulated timber frames, triple-glazed windows, air source heat pumps, and mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery. Solar panels on the roofs are expected to generate enough electricity to cover the average annual use of each home.
The scheme comprises of:

Work has completed on 5 new affordable homes for rent in Salthouse, prioritised for locals from the village and nearby areas.
Households in housing need with a local connection will get priority allocation. There will also be one house for sale. Proceeds from this sale will generate surplus funds to cover the costs of developing the scheme in the style of the village (which Government funding does not provide).
The homes are in a sympathetic design style of a converted farmyard, using extensive use of flint to blend into Salthouse’s Conservation area and timber framing.
This new development is designed to be operationally carbon net zero. These homes will have air source heat pumps, treble glazed windows, enhanced insulation and air tightness, along with mechanical ventilation. Solar panels will provide renewable energy, and each home will have its own electric vehicle charging point.

We worked in partnership with Great Hockham Parish Council and Breckland Council to deliver an inclusive housing development in Great Hockham. The new scheme includes homes for local needs, affordable rent, shared ownership and market sale.
Take a quick flythrough of our new scheme at Great Hockham in Norfolk.
The levels of public subsidy currently available do not cover the costs of developing the affordable rent homes. The market sale properties are included to generate surplus and top up the amount of funding required.
The scheme has been designed in two parts. A combination of terraced, semi-detached and detached homes at the entrance of the scheme will appear like a natural extension to the village. These homes are focused around an attractively design central space containing the surface water drainage basin. To the west, the design will appear more like a traditional agricultural holding, with a farmhouse and converted farm buildings, to sit sensitively in the wider landscape.
We undertook a housing needs survey in the area that identified local demand for affordable rent, shared ownership and market sale homes. This was used to decide which properties to develop. The affordable rent and shared ownership homes will be prioritised for people in housing need with a local connection, in accordance with the council’s housing allocation policy.
