The Expansion of Easton
On 03 June 2015 South Norfolk Council (SNC) Planning Committee approved an outline planning application for 907 new homes in Easton.
In January SNC approved an amended application for 890 new homes when parish land was removed from the application.
Full details are available on the SNC website, under planning application reference is 2014/2611.
Norwich Western Link
The development of a Norwich Western Link, to connect the new Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR) from the A1067 to the A47 west of Norwich, is one of County Councils top infrastructure priorities.
The village is represented on the NWL local liaison group by our Chair. Members of the public have the right to attend these meeting.
Jubilee Playing Field Appeal
Phase 1 of the refurbishment has now been completed. We have spent a total of £16,200 to date.
We have created a photo gallery of the work that has been completed.
The likely cost to completely revitalize the existing play equipment within the park will require around an extra £20,000.
To be able to do this we need your support to raise the necessary funds to be able to replace the existing aging equipment.
New Homes for Easton
Work starts in earnest to bring forward 64 homes on the Dereham Road. The surveyors will be on site from the 4 April helping to prepare the formal application to SNC which we are hoping will be considered late October. The parish council is supporting this project with the aim of building new homes that are affordably priced for local residents. We are looking to include two fully accessible bungalows within our proposal and having some properties to rent directly from the parish council.
As the project moves forward we will keep you up to date with future news.

Local Development Order - Food Hub
As a parish Council we have continued to raise concerns over the current plans and the proposed routing of HGV traffic though part of the village.
Broadland District have not been very open to providing information on what is happening , they attempted to put though a planning application number 20180471 without providing an opportunity for consultation.
We have now created a dedicated page as much detail as we can so that local residents can stay informed as to what is happening.
Easton Neighbourhood Plan
Our neighbourhood plan passed was approved at a local referendum on Friday 1st September 2017 with 96% Yes vote on a turnout of 35%.
The neighbourhood plan will help shape the design of all future development within the parish boundary.
In December it was accepted as a 'made' document and now forms part of South Norfolk Councils Planning Policies and its standing is backed by the Neighbourhood Planning act 2017.
