Housing Mix and Tenure
Delivering housing to meet local needs is key to our vision, whilst creating thriving communities. Our Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) ‘safer by design’ approved homes are tenure blind, so whatever the tenure, a customer receives the same commitment to design, specification, safety, and outstanding customer service.
The proposed homes comprise the following tenures:
56 no. social rent
37 no. shared ownership
The table below provides details of the housing mix.

Social Rents are set using the government’s national rent regime. Those on the Great Yarmouth housing register who need such accommodation are eligible for social rent properties.
Shared ownership involves buying a share of a dwelling’s full market value and paying rent (that is capped to an affordable level) for the share that they own.
Shared ownership is available to people with a local connection who have a lower level of household income, providing an opportunity to get on the property ladder with a lower deposit value.

Sustainability
We are focused on delivering good quality homes that people can afford and are proud to live in. Our sustainability strategy aligns with our vision and corporate strategy to lead in building thriving communities. For us this is about meeting people’s needs now and in the future, whilst playing our part in the global responses to climate change.
We aim to minimise the environmental impact of the homes we build, and the construction process undertaken.
Notable features that enhance the energy efficiency and sustainability of the dwellings include:
floor and wall insulation exceeding Building Regulations requirements;
best-practice ventilation methods and layout and design approaches that reduce the risk of overheating;
all-electric air source heat pumps for water and space heating;
Individual testing to ensure air tightness;
waste water heat recovery to capture and reuse of heat from bath and shower water;
electric vehicle charging points (at least one per dwelling).

Landscaping
The proposed development has been designed to retain as much of the Site’s perimeter existing vegetation.
These existing trees and hedges will be fully protected during the construction of the development.
An integral part of the development proposals is a comprehensive landscaping scheme which involves the augmentation of the Site’s existing hedgerows. New native species hedgerows and trees around and throughout the development, and ornamental planting to the frontages of the proposed homes.

Ecology
We have a target to look to deliver a biodiversity net gain of 10% or greater on all new developments moving forward. This is aligned with a 30by30 strategy formed from our partnership with The Wildlife Trust. This means that 30% of outdoor green spaces will managed in a way that supports natures recovery.
“Homes for nature” is an initiative developed by the Future Homes Hub’s On-Site Nature Measures Working Group.
We are committed to “Homes for Nature” to ensure appropriate provision for ecology within our developments. This involves the following commitments that will be reflected in the proposed development:
The installation of integral bird nesting bricks to each property;
Creating a ‘hedgehog highway’ through the development to allow safe movement of hedgehogs; and
Planting pollinators or wild flowers to support bees and insects.

Drainage
The surface water flows from the proposed development will drain to the existing roadside ditch at a rate not exceeding the run off rate of the Site in its existing (greenfield) form, which the drainage authority has specified as 5.0 litres per second. Two large attenuation basins will provide the necessary storage capacity for surface water flows in extreme weather events to ensure that this greenfield run off rate is maintained.
Allowances have been made in the drainage calculations for the worsening of extreme weather events with climate change.
The attenuation basins will be designed with gradual side slopes and will only retain surface water in extreme weather events. They will be dry the majority of the time and will provide green space and informal play space for residents.

Highways
Site Frontage
A new footway along the Yarmouth Road frontage of the Site is proposed. The northern part of this footway is set back within the Site. This will meet up with the footpath at the junction of Yarmouth Road and Kings Way.
Every effort has made to retain as much of the Site’s frontage hedgerow as possible.
Junction/Access in to Site
The site entrance will be opposite the drive/entrance to Meadow View.
Offsite Highway & Pedestrian Improvement Works
There are improvements proposed to the junction of Ormesby Road/The Street and Yarmouth Road/Waters Lane.
The works along Yarmouth Road comprise partial widening and incidental improvement of the eastern footway for pedestrians traveling to and from the village centre from the Site.
