Shipfield Corner, Norwich

Shipfield Corner is within the Shipfield development, just off Sprowston Road in Norwich.

The proposed design clears away redundant and unsightly garage blocks and replaces them with four new, high-performance and much-needed affordable homes for the local community.

The design carefully addresses the awkward corner plots and the diverse surrounding buildings, as well as retaining the important existing tree, to soften the approach into the heart of Shipfield, with hedge planting, activity and animation - whilst providing passive surveillance - to introduce a gentle transition between the 1960’s flats and the surrounding private housing.

The design was developed following a public consultation event with the local residents, and a planning application has now been submitted to Norwich City Council.
