Saffron has received planning approval to deliver 65 affordable homes in Martham.

The plans were approved at Great Yarmouth Borough Council Development Management Committee on Wednesday 18th September, subject to Section 106 Agreement.

Our CEO James Francis commented: “We are committed to working with local partners to tackle housing need and provide affordable, high-quality homes for people across Norfolk and Suffolk. These new homes have been designed to create sustainable, affordable living for residents.”

The development will feature a mix of sustainable homes, ranging from 1 to 4-bedrooms, for both social rent and shared ownership. They will be built to the highest Energy Performance Rating of A and will be heated by energy-efficient Air Source Heat Pumps.

Oliver Bumstead, Pre-Contract Manager, says: “We are delighted to receive approval for more quality, affordable homes, and will be prioritising local connections to support people and the Borough’s housing need.

“They will be built to high energy standards and will provide homes that are affordable for our residents to live in. We would like to thank Great Yarmouth Borough Council, and our partners who have worked hard to help us get to this stage, and we look forward to getting started once final details have been agreed.”
