The first homes will be available within the next few weeks, and the rest are under construction. Affordable homes that are to be built on the Charles Church Homes site in Pigot Lane. There will be 33 affordable homes, of which one third will have priority for local people. It is expected that all these homes will be acquired by Victory Housing Trust, and the first completions are expected towards the end of 2017. The Homes for Rent Eleven homes for rent will have priority for local people. The planning consent includes a S106 Agreement which gives priority in the following order: 1. Residents of the parish of Framingham Earl who have lived in that parish of a total of at least 3 of the last 10 years 2. Former residents of the parish of Framingham Earl who lived in that parish for at least 3 of the last 10 years 3. Residents of the parish of Framingham Earl who have lived in that parish or the neighbouring parishes of Poringland, Framingham Pigot, Yelverton, Alpington, Stoke Holy Cross, Caistor St Edmund and Bixley for the last 3 years or more 4.

Residents of South Norfolk 9. Any other person The wide range of property types (1, 2 and 3 bedroom houses) with a local connection priority means that there will be homes suitable for local households in various circumstances. In particular they include a high proportion of one bedroom houses, so there will be the opportunity for some newly-forming households from Framingham Earl to obtain an affordable home in the parish. We expect that shortly before completion the properties will be made available through adverts on the South Norfolk HomeOptions system. Anyone already on the South Norfolk Housing Register will need to express their interest (‘bid’) through the South Norfolk 'HomeOptions' website: www.snhomeoptions.org.uk Other interested residents who are not on the Housing Register should contact the Housing Advice Service here at South Norfolk Council to join the Housing Register ('HomeOptions'). They will need to provide proof of their residency or working qualification criteria as well as other verification details. During the week that the properties are advertised on the HomeOptions system people will need to actively apply ‘(bid’) for them, and the Council’s Housing Officers will be able to provide details of how to do this. For further information people should telephone for free on: 0808 168 2222. The Homes for Shared Ownership These six homes will be marketed separately by the housing association. They will be made available on the basis that the purchaser buys a proportion of the equity (usually 50%) and pays rent on the remaining equity. Although there is no priority for local people, they do provide an opportunity for residents of Framingham Earl to buy an affordable home. The Met Office have published the 2017 Winter Checklist.
