Waterside East
The Waterfront area will be an extension of the city’s Wensum waterfront – with a warehouse character, historic conversions and new buildings, and a range of activities and uses all connected by an attractive riverside walk. New bridges will support new connections between the sites and the wider city. The river itself will emerge as a focus for recreation and leisure-based activity, with new moorings and facilities. Interventions along its length will be introduced to improve the river’s ecology.
Carrow Works
The famous Carrow Works site will be recast as a new vibrant, creative, mixed-use quarter – fully integrated with the city of Norwich through the reuse of existing lanes and routes which cross the complex.
The site’s rich collection of historic structures and landscapes will be carefully and respectfully repurposed and integrated into this new city quarter. The area will be brimming with character, activity and variety – where contemporary architecture complements the refurbishment of some of the city’s most important historic structures, framed by the site’s mature trees.
Waterside North
Once the powerhouse of Norwich and with a magnificent south facing Broadland outlook, the Waterside North area is only a short walk to Norwich Station and the city centre. A new marina will be the focal point for a new mixed neighbourhood and will be a major new river gateway between the Broads and the city.
The Villages
Sensitively designed and environmentally friendly new homes will provide a family-friendly environment with great access to the Broads but a cycle ride from the city centre. The area’s special wetland character will provide a beautiful natural backdrop to this collection of new neighbourhoods for Norwich.
