Playground plans revealed for Barrack Street development

It comes as part of the ambitious St James Quay project in Barrack Street that has already seen the first phase of flats and maisonettes completed.

With the second and third phases under way, developers are investing in two green spaces for the area's growing population, consisting of play equipment, trees and hedgerows.

Concept images show the designs for a play area on the western side of the Pullman apartment building which will include a slide, see-saw, basket swing, double swing and balance boulders.

It will also border the Wensum River and Typesetters Way development which is part of the second phase and yet to be built.

The park and playground would replace the preexisting sales and marketing suite, according to the plans, and no timeframe has been provided for its construction so far. 

It follows shortly after Norwich City Council approved the schedule and specificities of repairs to 77-79 Barrack Street, on the northern side of the plot, after it was decided to return them to use as cottages.
