Consultation on Three Score homes in Bowthorpe, Norwich

Norwich City Council is hoping to build 88 properties which are zero carbon in use on land south of Clover Hill Road in Three Score, Bowthorpe. 

The development, which would be delivered by the authority's housing delivery company Lion Homes, would consist of 30 affordable dwellings - with the remaining 58 being put on the open market.

A mix of one-bed flats and two, three and four-bed homes would be provided as part of the project.

The scheme is part of the city council's wider plans to build 1,000 homes, a care village and 10 hectares of public open space at the site - a scheme first approved back in 2013.

City council leader Mike Stonard said: “Norwich has a strong tradition of council house building and I’m proud of the achievements of our development programme over recent years.

“Three Score is a great example of what we can achieve, delivering a significant number of new good quality homes for residents, as well as a boost to the wider economy."

A consultation on the latest planned phase of development has now opened following a public exhibition earlier this week to seek views on the draft plans.

"What we are seeing built at Three Score is a real sense of community, as well as providing social and affordable homes that are helping meet the city’s need for new, good quality housing," said Beth Jones, deputy leader of the council and cabinet member responsible for housing.

"It’s so exciting to see the finishing touches being made to the latest homes and I’m looking forward to welcoming in new residents.

"I’d encourage everyone to have a look at the plans for the next stage of this exciting project."

The consultation is on the Lion Homes website until November 22.
