10 one bedroom houses
13 two bedroom houses
4 three bedroom houses
1 four bedroom house
For Shared Ownership (part buy / part rent)
2 one bedroom houses
2 two bedroom houses

This means that one bedroom houses will be available for shared ownership, perhaps affordable for a single person or a couple seeking their first home.
Anyone interested in the shared ownership houses should contact Victory Housing Trust on 01603 629871.
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. People working in the parish of Framingham Earl and who have done so for the last year or more for at least 10 hours each week
5. Residents of the neighbouring parishes of Poringland, Framingham Pigot, Yelverton, Alpington, Stoke Holy Cross, Caistor St Edmund and Bixley who have lived in one or more of those parishes (or the parish of Framingham Earl) for the last 3 years or more
6. Residents of the parish of Framingham Earl who have lived in that parish for less than 3 years
7. Residents of the neighbouring parishes of Poringland, Framingham Pigot, Yelverton, Alpington, Stoke Holy Cross, Caistor St Edmund and Bixley who have lived in those parishes (or the parish of Framingham Earl) for less than 3 years
8. 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.
