Joint venture development team wins outline consent for major scheme near Norwich
Development Securities and joint venture partner Beyond Green have won outline planning consent for a 3,520 home mixed-use scheme near Norwich.
The urban extension, on a 207-acre site north of the city at North Sprowston and Old Catton, will comprise up to 3,520 homes, 16,800 sq. m of commercial space, up to 8,800 sq. m. of retail space, two primary schools, a hotel and extensive landscaped public space.
Development of the scheme to date has involved Copenhagen-based Gehl Architects and urban designers Paul Murrain and Jeremy Caulton.
The two joint venture partners entered into a ten-year promotion agreement with a consortium of landowners to bring forward the complex planning application in 2010. The consented scheme will deliver a key element of the Greater Norwich Development Partnership鈥檚 plans for 37,000 new homes across its area by 2026 and forms part of Broadland District Council鈥檚 proposed 鈥楪rowth Triangle鈥�, which will deliver at least 7,000 new homes by 2026 rising to 10,000 after 2031.
The development will be delivered in phases over the next 15 to 20 years with a start on site anticipated in late 2015 for the first phase of residential-led development comprising 590 new homes.
