West Norfolk Council is updating its local plan, which sets out where new homes or businesses could be built in Heacham between now and 2044. The plan indicates that a site beside the A149 coast road could accommodate up to 100 new properties. This land is leased from Ken Hill Estate, which is also considering land for commercial space and a new wetland.
