The land with planning permission that interests us around North Walsham
For consented land around North Walsham, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. North Walsham is in Norfolk, about 14 miles north of Norwich. Nearby places include Norwich, Great Yarmouth and East Dereham.
- Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
The A11 corridor from Thetford towards Norwich and the A47 east-west route carry much planned growth, with larger sites around Norwich. Rural villages see small schemes of farm buildings, paddocks and infill plots, while flood risk in the Fens near King's Lynn and on the coast shapes what is possible.
What decides whether a site in North Walsham works
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
Title and access
Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 139 miles from North Walsham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Norfolk
My permission expires soon. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Depending on the time left and the conditions, it may be possible to make a lawful start, apply again or vary the scheme. Tell us the expiry date as soon as you can.
Will the Section 106 obligations transfer to the buyer?
Planning obligations usually run with the land, so they bind whoever owns it. We review them as part of our due diligence.
Is North Walsham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 139 miles from North Walsham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in North Walsham to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
