Developers want to build 112 flats and houses on land north of Hemsby Road in Martham.

Permission for an outline scheme was granted in November 2016 with part of the plot earmarked for employment use only.

New detailed plans submitted to Great Yarmouth Borough Council show housing and public spaces occupying the site opposite the village medical centre with access off Hemsby Road.

The papers show the planned layout as well as the types of housing being put forward ranging from two-bedroom flats to five-bedroom detatched homes.

Parish council chairman Paul Hooper said his response to the scheme could be summed up in four words: “No more in Martham.”

He said the village had the spectre of 650 new homes hanging over it that had yet to be built.

More effort was needed to ensure the proper infrastructure was in place, he added, with frequent power cuts and low water pressure among issues.

“Central government gives its targets and the borough hammers them out.

“The idea of localism is dead,” he said.

People have until September 28 to have their say.
