Broadland Housing Group
Homes, community & support since 1963
With Norwich City Council, in February 2023 we completed 7 affordable rent houses in the former car park of the Ketts Hill Tavern in Norwich.
Broadland Housing Association is working in partnership with the council to deliver affordable homes across the city.
We worked in partnership with Norwich City Council to provide 6 new affordable homes at Lakenfields, Webster Court for people experiencing homelessness. A modular system was used to deliver high-quality homes, with minimal impact and disruption to the local community.
A former car parking area north of Webster Court now accommodates 6 x 1-bedroom, 2-person flats. The single block of 6 flats over 3 storeys has a communal garden area and vehicle parking accessed off the existing access. The first tenants moved in during December 2021.
Lakenfields was shortlisted for the national RTPI planning excellence awards in 2022.
Housden Court in Great Ryburgh was completed in 2018. It consists of 5 homes, all for affordable rent: a one bedroom bungalow and 4 (1 bedroom and 2 bedroom) houses.
The Great Ryburgh development has a real community feel. The design of the homes are specific to the village, and the intentional green space provides plenty of opportunities for neighbours to interact.
The scheme is named after Andrew Housden, a popular local quantity surveyor who died in 2010.
Our 18 new homes in Fullers Lane, Trunch, were completed in two phases in 2018-19. The scheme is mixed tenure, with both affordable and shared ownership homes and a mixture of bungalows and houses.
The design of the scheme reflects its rural community. There are lots of open spaces, which give a real community feel to the scheme and ensure plenty of room for families and neighbours.
In 2018 we completed the second phase of our rural scheme in Bodham, creating an additional 26 new homes. This mixed tenure scheme includes affordable rent, shared ownership and market sales homes.
Broadland believes that mixed tenure schemes can reduce the stigma around social housing.
All the homes in the second phase, including the affordable properties, have been carefully designed to reflect the character of the surrounding village. This attention to detail has created a real community feel, integrating with the first phase which was completed 10 years earlier.
