Does local plan affect Old Buckenham?

Breckland Local Plan
Documents that will shape future growth and development in the district until 2036 have gone out for a six week pre-submission publication that goes on until Monday 2 October. Once adopted, a Local Plan will set out the policies used to determine planning applications and the location of sites to meet housing, retail and employment requirements. It will also identify a five-year supply of housing land which will give the Council more control of the location of new housing and will reduce the likelihood of ad-hoc development. 
During the pre-publication period, the Council will be inviting views as to the ‘soundness’ of the Draft Local Plan - ie whether it is consistent with national policy, and sets out an appropriate strategy to meet the housing and infrastructure requirements of the District. During this period the draft Plan can be viewed on the Council’s website and copies of the document will be available for inspection in libraries and the customer contact centres. You can also contact the Parish Clerk or Adrian Joel, District Councillor, by email adrianpjoel@btinternet.com
The responses will be reviewed and any necessary amendments made before the document is submitted to the Secretary of State for the Examination in Public.
