For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine Norfolk with Suffolk as a sub-region of the East of England region, with the creation of the cross-county boundary constituency of Waveney Valley, which incorporated areas transferred from South Norfolk to the north of the River Waveney, including the towns of Diss and Harleston. To compensate South Norfolk, Wymondham was transferred in from Mid Norfolk.
Apart from changes to align with new ward boundaries, the only other adjustment was to move Drayton from Broadland (renamed Broadland and Fakenham) to Norwich North.[3][4]
