Two Plots of Land with Full Planning for Self-Builds in Longham

An outstanding opportunity to build your own beautiful home in the countryside of Mid-Norfolk, with full planning granted by Breckland; reference 3PL/2021/1460/F.

The current permission is for a self-build dwelling on each plot. An amendment to this may need to be sought if a developer were to acquire and build out both. Here is part 15 of the decision notice which refers to this:

15: The dwellings hereby permitted shall be first occupied by at least one person on the self-build and custom housebuilding register maintained by the Local Planning Authority (LPA) in accordance with the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 (as amended), or by at least one person who has had primary input into the final design and layout of the dwelling.

We are advised by the owners that nutrient neutrality credits have already been paid for. We ask all interested parties to study the planning permission before making an offer to purchase.

Each plot measures approximately half an acre (stms) with splendid gardens wrapping around the house and countryside views.

The approved dwellings are three/four bedroom chalet-style, two storey properties of 216.4 sq.m. (2,329 sq.ft.).

The land is vacant, available to start on immediately and freehold.

LONGHAM

Longham, a tranquil village in central Norfolk, lies approximately six miles from Dereham. Longham itself boasts scenic footpaths and bridleways, perfect for exploring the surrounding countryside. Equidistant from Norwich and King’s Lynn, and only four miles northwest of Dereham, Longham serves as an excellent hub for discovering Norfolk’s rural beauty. The village features the inviting Longham White Horse pub and a well-appointed Village Hall with adjacent playing fields. Nearby Swaffham, just 10 miles away, has a Waitrose supermarket. Adjacent to Longham, the village of Litcham offers a delightful array of amenities, including a delicatessen, public house, village shop, and both primary and secondary schools.

Dereham is a classic market town and an architectural haven with plenty of Georgian gems set on generous plots, blended with more recent developments. A twice weekly market, on Tuesdays and Fridays, along with a strong cohort of independent and specialist shops and free parking make the town a fabulous place for an afternoon spent browsing. Look out for the town’s other historic landmarks which include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, a heritage line which runs 1950s railcars to Wymondham Abbey, Dereham Windmill, a Grade II listed building which was saved from the brink of destruction, and Bishop Bonner’s Cottage, established in 1502 and believed to be the oldest building in town.

With good local schools, a leisure centre and golf course, Longham and its surrounding villages are a fantastic spot to enjoy the best of Norfolk country living with easy commuting access to Norwich and the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea, just 20 miles away. Come discover a Norfolk gem.
