Development at Hempstead Road, Holt

As you may be aware, planning permission was granted by North Norfolk District Council in June 2021 for a development at Hempstead Road, Holt.

The development will consist of 52 new homes and will range from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom houses, including a number of Affordable Homes, including rented and shared ownership, which will be delivered in partnership with a housing association. The final masterplan for the site is shown below:

The development is being built by Hopkins Homes, one of the largest independent house builders in East Anglia. We pride ourselves on the quality of the homes we create and the strength of our links with the local community.

Work will start on site this month. The show home is expected to be completed in January 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I get in touch with the site team?

You can make contact by emailing info@hopkinshomes.co.uk or calling 01394 446800.

Q: Will I be affected by construction on site?

There is no doubting the need for new homes – both nationally and locally – but we do also appreciate that building houses can cause some disruption to local people through construction noise and traffic. We are committed to keeping such disruption to a minimum.

Q: What times will work take place on site?

An application to agree the working hours is being presently considered by North Norfolk District Council, the working hours proposed are:

  • 08:00am – 6.00pm Monday to Friday
  • 08:00am – 1.00pm Saturday

No works shall be carried out on Sundays or Public Holidays.

Please be aware that our construction teams often arrive shortly before these times but are aware of the site working hours.

Q: What impact will the construction have on local traffic?

We understand the construction period will result in more vehicles using the road, however we will endeavour to keep the disruption to a minimum. We regularly inspect site entrances to minimise mud and dust, and will clean when required.

If you see anything that you feel needs to be addressed, please contact us by emailing info@hopkinshomes.co.uk or calling 01394 446800 so that we can investigate this for you.

Q: Flooding and drainage concerns.

As part of the planning and technical design process, Hopkins Homes has undertaken detailed assessments of flood risk and consulted with the Lead Local Flood Authority and Anglian Water. The works undertaken as part of the development have been approved by the relevant bodies to ensure that the development does not have a detrimental impact on the current infrastructure and risks of flooding have been addressed.

Q: Noise complaints (generators, etc.)

We do our best to keep disruption to a minimum, though our construction will unavoidably cause some noise. If at any point you feel that the noise is on-going outside of our standard working hours please get in touch with us via info@hopkinshomes.co.uk or calling 01394 446800 and we will look into this.

Q: I would potentially like to buy one of the properties on this development – who should I contact?
