Work has started on four new affordable homes at Shipfield, the first site Broadland built back in 1966!
Turning old, disused blocks of garages into 4 new 2 bedroom flats. The new homes are possible through funding from Norwich City Council, which has allocated capital from its Right to Buy sales receipts.
The new homes will have an electric vehicle charging point. Two of the new homes net zero carbon, whilst the other 2 will have an EPC rating of A.
Broadland’s Chair Jenny Watson said
This is a good example of taking every available opportunity to create much-needed new homes. We have taken two under-used garage blocks and are building four new affordable homes. “Once again we are working in partnership with Norwich City Council to make these new homes possible – all part of our continuing drive to tackle homelessness.
Cllr Mike Stonard, leader of Norwich City Council, said:
We’re pleased to support this project using Right to Buy receipts to help meet local housing need. By working in partnership with Broadland Housing Association, we’re making the most of a small site to provide good-quality, affordable homes for people in Norwich. These new flats at Shipfield will replace outdated buildings and offer better housing options for residents now and in the future.
It is expected that these new affordable homes will be completed in Spring 2026.
