Plans for 410 houses to be built in Cringleford, on the city outskirts, have finally gone before the public – a key step before getting the green light from the council.

This is the second stage of the Cringleford Heights development which when completed, is expected to have 1,060 new homes.

The firm behind the development, Barratt Homes, has started the first stage of the scheme, which sees 650 houses built at the site.

This project will make Cringleford one of the fastest growing communities in the region.

But there are concerns over the lack of infrastructure and that it will cause traffic problems.

This project is part of the Greater Norwich Local Plan to build 45,000 new homes in Norwich, Broadland and South Norfolk by 2038.
