The site of the old mushroom farm and the adjacent field are subjects of outline planning application. Two separate developers, Persimmon Homes and Norfolk Land Ltd, are involved and between them are planning to construct 225 new homes here. The long since abandoned mushroom farm burnt down in March 2014, and at the height of the blaze more than 40 firefighters were tackling the flames which spread over three buildings. A number of people living nearby had to spend the evening in a temporary rest centre.
