Holt could be set for further expansion as major developer Lovell has lodged plans with Norfolk Norfolk District Council to build another 23 houses in the town.
They are planned for land west of Nightjar Road.
If approved, the estate will be comprised of 43pc affordable homes and will occupy a strip of land next to Lovell’s existing development known as Heath Farm, near Sander Coaches and which consists of 213 homes.

The plans, which are pending consideration by the council, show a mix of 13 private, six affordable rental and four shared ownership properties.
The land in question was last used as a storage compound for its neighbouring development and is of “limited ecological value”.
As a result, the developer believes that the site would be enhanced when given residential use.
Lovell also proposes in its plans that all the homes will “have good-sized rear gardens, many of which will be cultivated further by hobby gardening and normal domestic activities.”

It follows a planning scheme for 24 homes in the town.
Bayfield’s bid would see 24 homes built on land on the south west edge of Holt, near the primary school.
Eight affordable houses would also be included in this development.
That new estate would be comprised of a mixture of one-bedroom flats and two, three, and four bedroom detached, semi-detached and terrace properties.
The scheme proposes a range of property types and sizes that are in keeping with the rest of the town.
A previous attempt to build on the site, just north of Valley Lane, was withdrawn last January after objections over a lack of affordable homes and public open space.
Holt has an upmarket reputation partly as a result of its abundance of Georgian buildings, which were built after the town was devastated by a fire in 1708.
