King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council have granted planning to W.H. Kerkham Ltd for 122 new homes at a 6.14-hecatre site off Cheney Hill, Heacham.

The development will occur in two phases and 25 of the dwellings will be affordable. Phases 1 and 2 will feature 6,917 sq m and 1,383 sq m of public open space respectively.

Julian Kerkham, director at WH Kerkham Ltd, said: “We’re delighted that this project has received planning approval and look forward to bringing forward a development that contributes positively to Heacham’s future.

“Our aim has always been to create a place where people feel connected to nature, to their neighbours and to the wider village. By working closely with the local authorities and design team at Tate + Co, we’ve ensured this is a scheme that delivers real community value.”

Contributors to the scheme included Tate + Co (architects), Bidwells (planning), Engenuiti (drainage), JSM (services and utilities), Fore Consulting (transport) and HTA Design LLP (landscape architects).

Jerry Tate, founder and director at Tate + Co, said: “This project is about more than building houses, it is about creating a place that strengthens Heacham’s community fabric. By providing new green spaces, safe walking and cycling routes, and thoughtfully designed homes, the development will not only meet local housing needs but also deliver lasting benefits for existing residents.”

Mr Tate is pleased to be shaping a neighbourhood which ‘respects the village’s character while looking into the future’.

The planning application reference is 21/01412/RMM.
