The "much-needed" homes are being built in the centre of the town, as part of a £1.5m housing scheme developed by Breckland Bridge, the joint venture partnership between Breckland Council and the Land Group.

The 10 homes on the newly named Chantry Court are being built by Wellington Construction, and are located on land adjacent to the former Chapel Road Primary School, on the corner of Cyprus Road and Chapel Road. The scheme will include two detached and eight two to three-bedroom terraced homes.

Breckland Council's executive member for contracts and assets Paul Hewett said: "These houses will make excellent homes for local families and help to meet demand in our growing district and so meet our ambition for Breckland as a place where residents and businesses can thrive."

The new homes are expected to be completed by the end of 2020.
