First homes at Colman's Mustard site could be built by 2029

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 07:32 · Archive

Plans for the first of up to 300 homes at the former Colman's Mustard site in Norwich are due to be lodged early next year.

Homes England bought the 42-acre Carrow Works site, once home to Colman's Mustard, earlier this year. The government's housing and regeneration agency plans to lodge proposals for the first phase of up to 300 homes with Norwich City Council in early 2025, after a further round of public engagement in December.

The first phase will cover 10 acres of the site, with former factory buildings on the northwest demolished to make way for housing. If planning permission is granted by the council's planning committee, Homes England hopes construction will begin by 2029.

These initial homes will be the first of what could ultimately be 3,500 homes across the wider East Norwich Regeneration site, which includes the Deal Ground, the Utilities Site and the former May Gurney offices. When submitting detailed plans for the first phase, Homes England also intends to present a sitewide framework for the entire scheme, providing a design for the wider site in less detail than the phase one proposals.
