New images show how Norwich’s former Colman’s factory could be transformed as plans progress for hundreds of new homes there.
New images have revealed how Norwich’s former Colman’s Mustard factory could be transformed as work progresses on plans for a major new housing development.
Homes England and Norwich City Council are working together on proposals for Carrow Works, the 17-hectare former industrial site beside the River Wensum.
An initial phase is expected to provide up to 300 homes as part of plans to bring the largely unused site back into use.
Design teams are looking at how new housing can be combined with the restoration and reuse of important historic buildings connected with the former Colman’s factory.
Plans are also expected to include new green areas, public spaces and improved access to the riverside.
Homes England bought Carrow Works earlier this year and says its heritage will play an important role in shaping the new neighbourhood.
Colman’s operated at Carrow for more than 160 years before production ended, making the site one of Norwich’s best-known pieces of industrial heritage.
Carrow Works forms a central part of the much larger East Norwich regeneration project.
The wider area, which also includes the Deal Ground and former utilities sites, has been identified for more than 3,500 new homes, thousands of jobs and major improvements to walking, cycling and riverside connections.
