The final section of a major housing development on the city outskirts has been given the green light.

South Norfolk Council has approved detailed proposals for 34 more homes at St Giles Park in Cringleford, bringing the estate to its planned total of 350 dwellings. 

The development has been in the works for more than a decade and many of the houses have already been built. 

Speaking at a meeting this week, council officials confirmed this would be the "last housing parcel" to be delivered at the site.

St Giles Park will make up 350 of a total of some 650 homes across both sites.

The later phases of the wider site are now under construction with the first phases having been occupied for some time.

While this stage of development originally included retail units, these have been scrapped to "adapt to current market conditions".

However, following the delivery of this final parcel of housing, there remains an outstanding application that solely provides commercial space on the wider site. 

Councillors approved plans for 34 new homes at St Giles Park at a meeting this week.
