Work has started on 19 new homes in Little Snoring. These new homes, for local people will be a mixed tenure scheme. Nine homes will be for social rent, with 2 offered on a “rent to buy” scheme. The other nine homes will be for open market sales, the proceeds will be used to subsidise the affordable homes.
These rural homes will be built to the high environmental standard, with solar panels, air source heat pumps and high levels of insultation. The homes will have an EPC rating of A, making them affordable to heat.
Jenny Watson, Chair of Broadland said
We are very happy to be building homes for local people here in Little Snoring. Like many villages in north Norfolk, there is an acute shortage of affordable homes here. “We are especially pleased to be able to offer the affordable rental homes at social rent, a lower level of rent which equates to approximately 60% of market rents. Coupled with the energy-efficiency of these new homes, that means they will be truly affordable.
Broadland are working in partnership with North Norfolk District Council. Cllr Wendy Fredricks, portfolio holder for housing and people said
We are delighted once again to be working with Broadland Housing to provide affordable homes for local people in our district.
