A project which will transform North Walsham and see its population boom with 1,800 new homes has been revealed by North Norfolk District Council.
Plans for the west of the town being proposed by North Norfolk District Council would see the introduction of the North Walsham West Link Road, linking Norwich Road to Cromer Road and the Laundry Loke industrial estate via Bradfield Road.
Here are the key areas.

The Conservatives made some inroads into north Norfolk in this week s elections for Norfolk County Council.
The Tories gained Wells and Holt from the Liberal Democrats, while North Walsham West and Erpingham went from Tory to Lib Dem control.
It means the Conservatives now control six north Norfolk divisions, the Lib Dems have four and an independent has one.
And Steffan Aquarone, while retaining Melton Constable division, announced he was standing down as group leader of the Lib Dems.
He said: “I’m very sorry to say with a heavy heart I’m stepping down as group leader of the Liberal Democrats on Norfolk County Council. I cannot personally support our position on the Western Link any longer.”
