Heritage Action Zone in Swaffham

March 2021 saw the start of Historic England's High Streets Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) programme in Swaffham.

The HAZ programme aims to revive and champion historic high streets. It will revitalize Swaffham high street by maximising the potential of local character and heritage assets.

The project includes the development of a Town Centre Improvement Masterplan by Urban Symbiotics, reappraisal of the Swaffham Town Centre Conservation Area and a Building Improvement Scheme which is being delivered with the Conservation Accredited Architect, Kings & Dunne Architects.

The Building Improvement Scheme is now live and applies to buildings within the HAZ area. It provides funding for improvements and reinstatement of traditional and heritage character features with match funding provided by Historic England. Kings & Dunne Architects will be working closely with Breckland Council and building owners throughout the programme until April 2024.
