Councillors will meet later this morning to discuss contentious plans for hundreds of new homes in Gaywood.
A special meeting will examine West Norfolk Council’s proposals for 379 properties on land off Parkway, Gaywood.
Members of the authority’s planning committee have been advised to approve the scheme, subject to the completion of legal agreements.

The planning committee meeting, which is taking place via Zoom, will start at 9.30am and is due to be streamed via the borough council’s YouTube channel.
If you can’t follow the meeting, we’ll bring you news of the decision as soon as it is made.
