Thousands of new homes are going to be built in Norwich and its surrounding areas over the coming years.

But with so many new housing applications being submitted every month, it can be difficult to keep track of what is being built and where.

That is why we have created this interactive map, which allows you to see existing and future developments.

The red shapes provide a rough outline of the sites, and can be clicked on for more information about what is being proposed.

While this map does not show every-single housing development in Norwich and Broadland, we have tried to include all of the major schemes.

In the coming months, it will be updated with new applications as they come.

Council bosses have been told that between now and 2036, they must provide almost 43,000 new homes in Greater Norwich area.

While sites have been identified for some 35,000 of these, locations for the remaining 7,200 must be found, leading to the launch of the Greater Norwich Local Plan in January.
