Construction Trends in Great Yarmouth
Great Yarmouth's flagship North Quay Waterfront scheme is a proposed 100 million pound regeneration, planned to include a retail outlet centre, a 120 room hotel, restaurants, housing and an IMAX cinema, with Willmott Dixon as the council's chosen development partner and 20 million pounds secured from the Levelling Up Fund for land assembly. The Conge, a brownfield gateway site near the railway station, is being redeveloped into 82 homes through a strategic partnership between the council, Broadland Housing and Orwell Housing. The borough's wider Town Deal is funding a 60 million pound town centre regeneration programme aimed at bringing more residential use back into the centre. Away from these schemes, established residential areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
