Construction Trends in Norwich
Norwich City Council has partnered with Aviva Capital Partners on a 350 million pound redevelopment of Anglia Square, planning around 1,100 new homes on the former shopping centre site, backed by a 34 million pound Homes England grant that let the council buy the land. On Prince of Wales Road, Whitbread has permission to demolish the Nelson Hotel and replace it with a new hotel, around 490 student flats and roughly 75 homes near Mountergate, alongside a new riverside park. A separate 7.6 million pound regeneration of Sloughbottom Park in Mile Cross is also progressing. Away from these schemes, established residential areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
