Breckland Council has declined to give its support to plans for a new garden town with 10,000 new homes.

Norwich-based developers Lanpro, external were to submit a prospectus to the government in early November for the new settlement between Billingford, Bintree and North Elmham, but were seeking council support first.

The council said it was formulating a new local plan as the district’s blueprint for growth through until 2036 and this would be ready by early or mid-2019 and a garden town did not figure in its consultations at this stage.

Breckland, external had also not seen "sufficient evidence of public consultation and engagement or how the garden town could be successfully delivered and supported by the range of necessary partners," a spokesman said.

Lanpro director Chris Leeming said: "With the refusal of the council to support the scheme in favour of its local plan and also the tight government timescales the way is blocked to continue with the garden town prospectus."
