Reworked plans for a disused site in the city have emerged - four years after approval for a new home was granted in the area.
A plot of land at the end of Clarence Harbour Court in Carrow Road could be set for a modern new build.
Under the plans, a two-story home will be built on the triangular plot, which has been empty for several decades.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows will line the front and rear of the property, which will also have a terraced garden area.
Plans for the new home were first approved in 2020, but now developers say these are "fundamentally flawed" and have submitted plans for an entirely new design.
According to the propsoals submitted by Henry James-Allison and Hannah Briggs, "the approved scheme's layout is an incredibly wasteful design in terms of site utilisation."
They say: "The design has continued the depth of the terraces adjacent and due to the rear boundary running at an angle, this has left an extremely small rear garden.
"To the northeast, the approved scheme has left additional space, however, this space is effectively unusable due to the steep slope running up to road level.
"This area is surrounded on all sides and would be too dark to plant anything significant.

"Aggravating this issue is the fact that the garden area provided in this scheme is overlooked and overshadowed.
"The approved design is fundamentally flawed and a revised design that takes into account its deficiencies should be considered."
Norwich City Council approved the original scheme despite multiple objections from people living in the surrounding houses.
A range of issues were raised, including that it would overshadow homes in nearby Clarence Harbour Court and Hardy Road, cause a loss of privacy with the windows able to see into the surrounding homes, and result in a lack of car parking in the area.
Norwich City Council will aim to make a decision on the new plans by November 5.
