Carrow Quarter

As part of the ongoing regeneration of the area around Norwich’s Carrow Road football ground, our client sought to secure planning permission for a high-density, urban development designed around the principles of Passivhaus.  The buildings range in height between five and 10 storeys and are designed in a contemporary manner, reflecting the regeneration of the wider area. The density and scale of the development allows for much-needed housing in the city, including affordable homes for the local community.

The planning application outlined how the site occupied a very sustainable location – half a mile from Norwich train station and near local facilities including a leisure complex. The scheme included car parking spaces, cycle storage and other facilities for the community to utilise. The final design includes landscaping and a riverside walk.

The application involved extensive consultation with key stakeholders including the general public, both prior to and following the submission of the application.
