Call for Sites
Find out further information on the Call for Sites, including its purpose and to see where sites have been submitted for consideration.
IMPORTANT: Sites shown as part of the Call for Sites are locations suggested by landowners, developers, agents or members of the public. Their publication at this stage does not mean the Council supports development on these sites, that they will be automatically allocated in the new Local Plan, or that planning permission will be granted. At this stage, the submitted sites are being published to provide transparency on the Call for Sites process undertaken so far. All submitted sites will be assessed as part of the normal plan-making process before any future decisions are made on new allocations.
During Summer 2026, the Council invited landowners, developers, agents, organisations, and members of the public to put forward land they considered may be suitable for future development. This process is known as a 'Call for Sites'.
What is a Call for Sites?
The Call for Sites forms an important part of the evidence gathering needed to prepare a new Local Plan for North Norfolk. To plan positively for the future and meet identified needs for housing, employment, infrastructure, community facilities, open space and other uses, the Council needs to understand what land may be available and what development opportunities may exist across the district. The Call for Sites allowed individuals and organisations to suggest land that could be considered to help meet needs as part of the Local Plan process.
An initial Call for Sites took place between 1 June 2026 and 13 July 2026. In alignment with the Scoping Consultation, additional submissions were accepted between 20 July 2026 and 31 August 2026. We received 243 submissions.
Submitted sites
The submitted sites are provided below for information and transparency purposes only. No assessment or decision has yet been made regarding their suitability for inclusion in the new North Norfolk Local Plan. All submitted sites will be subject to detailed assessment against a range of planning, environmental, infrastructure and sustainability considerations.
The identification or publication of a site through the Call for Sites process does not mean it will be allocated for development in the Local Plan, does not grant planning permission, and does not indicate Council support for its development.
Outcome
The outcome of the site assessment process will be reported through future stages of the Local Plan, including a public consultation expected in Spring/Summer 2027, when residents, businesses and stakeholders will have further opportunities to comment before any decisions are made.
