Social landlord Clarion Housing Group has unveiled plans to create a new community in Honingham, Norfolk containing up to 7,500 homes.
Clarion has agreed a land promotion agreement on a 368 hectare site eight miles west of Norwich, on which 3,900 homes could be built over the next two decades, with an additional 3,600 homes delivered over the following 15 years.
The scheme will have a mix of tenures including social rented, shared ownership, private sale, build-to-rent and potentially self-build homes.
As masterplanner and lead developer, Clarion would deliver 50% of the homes at Honingham and the on-site infrastructure.
The new settlement – which will follow garden community design principles – will also have a new country park, employment space and nature reserve.
Richard White, Director of Land and Planning for Clarion Housing Group said: “We are absolutely committed to playing our part in tackling this country’s acute housing crisis and our aim to deliver 50,000 new homes over a decade.
“At Clarion, we have moved away from the traditional model for housing associations of relying on Section 106 agreements with housebuilders.
“Our approach to development focusses on buying land ourselves or in partnerships and securing major strategic land opportunities, such as Honingham.”
Clarion is consulting local stakeholders on its plans for Honingham and aims to submit a planning application next year.
