Council control before election No Overall Control Council control after election Conservative Party

The Conservative Party won control of the council from No Overall Control.

All three major parties made gains at the expense of the UK Independence Party and the Green Party of England and Wales, both of which lost all their seats. The Conservatives benefited the most, making a net gain of 15 seats from UKIP and the Liberal Democrats, while Labour bucked its national trend of poor results and made a net gain of 3 seats. The Liberal Democrats saw their seat number rise from 10 to 11, winning one off UKIP. An independent candidate was also elected.

This was the first election since 2001 in which no UKIP or Green candidates were elected. The election saw significant changes in the popular vote, with UKIP's vote share declining by 17.5 percentage points and the Green Party winning just 4% of the county-wide vote, its worst result in Norfolk since the 1997 election.
