This generous 0.3-acre self-build plot sits at the end of Sam Smith Way in Rackheath, offering outline planning for a substantial five-bedroom, two-storey detached home. The site is freehold, not at risk of flooding, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical advantages for modern family life and remote working. The nutrient neutrality contribution has been paid and no Biodiversity Net Gain requirement applies, simplifying the build process.
The plot is well-located for everyday convenience and family needs. Rackheath Primary School and other well-regarded schools are nearby, while the centre of Norwich lies within commuting distance via the A1042 and Salhouse railway station. The setting combines peaceful countryside views and walking routes with easy access to shops and local amenities.
Buyers should note this is outline planning permission, not full planning consent — reserved matters and detailed approvals will be required before construction. There is a shared right of way to the site and buyers will need to budget for the full build, infrastructure connections and any detailed planning conditions. Crime in the area is recorded as above average; purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures.
Overall this plot presents a rare chance to design and construct a bespoke family home in an affluent, semi-rural location close to Norwich. It will suit buyers prepared to manage a self-build project and the associated costs, timescales and planning stages.
