Plans unveiled for nearly 50 new homes and graveyard extension in Norfolk town |
Phoenix Strategic Land has proposed to build 49 houses on land off Cley Road in Holt, alongside more burial plots and extra visitor parking at the town's cemetery.
The housing development would range from two to five bedrooms, including one self-build plot, and will include new public open spaces and structural landscaping.
The cemetery extension would be also delivered as part of the development, with the developers describing as a "key element to the proposal" with the land intended to be transferred to the town council.

Access would be provided via a new junction from Cley Road, serving both the new homes and cemetery parking area.
But before the firm submits a planning application to North Norfolk District Council, it has invited feedback from neighbours, businesses and community representatives to shape the final proposal.
Daryl Kirkland, joint managing director and strategic land director at Phoenix Strategic Land, said: “We are pleased to be presenting our early proposals for new homes in Holt and to be able to support the town with an extension to the cemetery that has been identified by Holt Town Council as needed to increase capacity."

He added: “From the outset, our priority has been to bring forward a high-quality, well-designed development that responds sensitively to its surroundings and delivers meaningful benefits for the local community.
"We are committed to working closely with the Town Council, residents and North Norfolk District Council, and we welcome feedback to help shape the final plans.”
The public consultation will run from March 16 to April 13 at 5pm.
Full details of the proposals and information on how to provide feedback are available at www.phoenix-strategicland.co.uk/cleyroad
Following the consultation period, all feedback will be carefully reviewed before a planning application is submitted to NNDC for consideration.
