Development Securities and joint venture partner Beyond Green Developments have secured provisional planning consent for a mixed-use scheme north of Norwich in the UK.

The project will deliver a new mixed-use complex comprising up to 3,520 homes, 16,800 m2 of commercial space, up to 8,800 m2 of retail space, two primary schools, a hotel and extensive landscaped public space.

Development Securities and Beyond Green Developments entered into a 10-year promotion agreement with a consortium of landowners to bring forward the complex planning application in 2010.

The scheme is in line with the Greater Norwich Development Partnership’s plans for 37,000 new homes across its area by 2026 and forms part of Broadland District Council’s proposed ‘Growth Triangle’, which will deliver at least 7,000 new homes by 2026.

The development will be delivered in phases over the next 15 to 20 years with a start on site anticipated in late 2015 for the first phase of residential-led development comprising 590 new homes.
