Norwich City Council has approved plans for four affordable one-bedroom flats on a council-owned garage site.

Norwich City Council has approved Orwell Housing Association's plans to build four affordable one-bedroom flats on a council-owned garage site between Sun Lane and Angel Road. The scheme will demolish 20 lock-up garages and replace them with a two-storey residential block.

Each flat is designed for up to two people and will meet national space standards. Four parking spaces, including electric vehicle charging points, will be provided as part of the development. The scheme forms part of the Norwich Orwell Partnership, through which Norwich City Council and Orwell Housing Association are bringing forward small council-owned sites for housing development.

The plans were submitted to Norwich City Council in October 2024. A public consultation was carried out in May 2024, but no comments were received from those living nearby.
