    Wiveton – Call for land

    Wiveton – Call for land

    Broadland Housing Association would like to hear from local landowners who may be willing to dispose of land for development of an exception housing scheme of approximately 8 to 10 dwellings.

    North Norfolk District Council has identified a local housing need for Wiveton and immediately adjoining parishes. North Norfolk District Council and Broadland Housing have approached Wiveton Parish Council regarding the potential to develop an exception housing scheme in the village.

    Affordable rent homes will be prioritised to households in housing need who have a local connection to Wiveton and immediately adjoining parishes, in accordance with North Norfolk District Council’s allocations cascade.

    The following tenures are proposed

    • Affordable: Comprising affordable rent and shared ownership
    • Market sales: Approximately a third of the overall development will be sold on the open market, to generate surplus funds to cross-subsidise the affordable homes.

    Shared ownership and market homes will initially be marketed to the local community.

    Land needs to be in Wiveton adjacent to existing properties. The amount housing associations can pay for land is above agricultural but below market values.


    If you have potentially suitable land that you would like Broadland Housing Association to consider, please contact Adam Ballard.

    A community consultation took place at Martham Community Centre on Wednesday 17th May 2023.

    We are looking at developing new housing in Martham, Norfolk. This would be partly on the allocated land for housing on Repps Road, combined with a local needs-led exception site.

    Broadland carried out a housing needs survey in Martham in November 2022 and we have incorporated those results into the design.

    Over the past 12 months, in discussions with the Parish Council and Norfolk Highways, the need for a roundabout for the village has been highlighted. The roundabout would allow access to this development and reduce driving speeds into the village.

    The scheme we are consulting on takes this into account and includes the following tenures:

    Martham – housing needs survey

    Martham

    Housing Needs Survey

    Broadland Housing Association agreed with Martham Parish Council to carry out a survey about housing need in the parish.

    If the survey identifies there is sufficient need for affordable homes, Broadland Housing Association will work in partnership with the Parish Council and local landowners to deliver either a 100% affordable housing scheme or a mixed-tenure housing exception scheme in the village, dependent on need and funding.

    Background

    Exception housing schemes are provided on land in the countryside that would otherwise not be permitted for development. The homes on an exception housing scheme are allocated using the Local Allocations Agreement. This ensures that homes are prioritised for households with a local connection to the parish where the scheme is located and the adjoining civil parishes. In this case the scheme forms part of a larger allocated development at the entrance to the village, off Repps Road.

    Housing need

    Housing need in rural areas can often be hidden and not necessarily visible to the wider community or statutory authorities. An individual or household is considered to be in housing need when:

    • they require separate or alternative accommodation AND
    • they are unable to rent or buy housing generally available on the open market.

    Affordable homes

    Two tenures of affordable homes are typically provided on exception housing schemes:

    • Affordable rent properties are let at rents discounted at 80% of market and generally capped at the Local Housing Allowance.
    • Shared ownership allows a household to buy an equity share of their home and pay rent on the portion retained by the housing association. Broadland Housing Association will retain the freehold. Shared owners are able to purchase equity shares up to an 80% cap of property value.

    A small number of market sale homes may also be required to generate cross-subsidy and make the affordable homes more financially viable.\

    Planning application was submitted in Summer 2023.
