A hidden gem which offers panoramic views of Norwich could be set to undergo a regeneration worth up to £250,000.

The project seeks to improve accessibility at the council-owned Kett's Heights - in Thorpe Hamlet - to ensure the public space "can be enjoyed by all".

A contract worth between £200,000 and £250,000 has been put out by the city council as part of a search for a potential supplier who can help complete the works.

The scope of the project includes the installation of a ramped access path from Ladbrook Place alongside the resurfacing and refit of the step path from Kett's Hill entrance.

Contract details state a crane will be required to complete the works.

Kett’s Heights was acquired by Norwich City Council in the 1980s and is managed by the Friends of Kett’s Heights, supported by the Norwich Fringe Project.

Within the Thorpe Hamlet conservation area, it contains the remains of a medieval chapel and 19th century garden terraces.

Future development of the site has been restricted by the lack of access.

The council received funding from the Greater Norwich Growth Board (GNGB) for a revamp of the space's accessibility in 2021.

The winner of the new contract put out by the city council will have to work alongside Cadent Gas - but management of the project is being carried out by the council.

The contract was published on July 14 and is set to close on August 14. 

It will begin on September 19 and finish on March 12 2024. 

Norwich City Council was contacted for comment on the works.
