Breckland Bridge
Breckland Bridge is a joint venture between Norfolk’s Breckland District Council and The Land Group. The partnership manages and delivers commercial and residential schemes across the district. The joint venture was created to assist in the delivery of the council’s strategic aims and objectives for regeneration, employment opportunity and housing provision for the benefit of the community across Breckland. Breckland Bridge looks to build on the council’s housing and sustainability objectives, providing high quality homes to both the public and private market, utilising the latest in renewable energy technology.
The initial focus of Breckland Bridge was the delivery of the Thetford Riverside leisure scheme, together with residential schemes in Mileham and Attleborough.
Following the successful completion of these projects, the joint venture is now focussed on delivering further residential schemes in Colkirk, Litcham, Banham and Shipdham together with other strategic opportunities across Breckland.
