More houses could be coming to the city outskirts after multiple plans have been submitted to create affordable homes.

Two new applications have been submitted to Norwich City Council to demolish existing garage spaces in Angel Road and at the back of Paine Road, in Thornfield Way.

Should the application go ahead they would be replaced with "three new build, two-bedroom houses" in Paine Road and "four new build, one-bedroom flats" in Angel Road.

The plans are part of a series of applications to come through the Norwich Orwell Partnership, for sites currently owned by Norwich City Council, to be developed for affordable housing by Orwell Housing Association.

In the design statement, by Peter Wells Architects, it also states each property will also come with one parking space, with the spaces in Paine Road including an EV charging point.

There are 16 garages in Paine Road, all owned by the city council, which will be removed to make way for the new homes, while Angel Road has 20 garages.

All the homes will have access to an outdoor amenity space, while the site in Paine Road will also benefit from rear gardens at each property.

Construction company H Smith and Sons of Honingham first applied for planning permission in 2020 and, four years later, the family business has finally been given the go-ahead to build. 

Hopkins Homes had developed 163 houses in the nearby area with a small part of the site, initially earmarked for a pub, when plans first emerged in 2014.
