Rackheath Eco Town

Main article: Rackheath Eco-town

During 2008, proposals were made for a very controversial eco-town, to contain over 3000 homes, to be built in Rackheath and Salhouse.^[3] The proposals have attracted much criticism, mainly because it is to be built on a greenfield site, within a mile of The Broads National Park.
