Targetfollow - Plans lodged for prestigious development
The detailed planning application for
Targetfollow’s Duke’s Wharf development in Norwich has been
submitted. The ambitious plans proposed by Targetfollow are set
to transform the former Eastern Electricity site into a new
vibrant commercial quarter for Norwich city centre.
The development, which has been designed by local architects
Feilden + Mawson will include a mix of uses including offices,
restaurants and shops, residential accommodation, and an art
gallery. The scheme will provide high quality public realm,
publicly accessible art work and the introduction of a riverside
walk.
Subject to approval, Targetfollow hopes to commence on site
works early next year with the first occupants moving into the
scheme within two years. One of the first occupiers will be
Targetfollow itself, as one of the buildings within Duke’s Wharf
will become the company’s new European headquarters.
James Smith, Targetfollow’s development manager says, “We
believe the planning application submitted reflects not only
what Norwich needs in order to maintain and enhance its business
environment within the City Centre but will also result in a new
high quality destination for people to live and visit the cafés
and restaurants.”
Philip Bodie, partner of Feilden + Mawson says “Duke’s Wharf
will bring real benefits to this area of Norwich and we look
forward to playing our part in securing the City’s vibrant
future.”
Recent exploratory archaeological investigations have revealed
glimpses of the former ducal palace as well as early industrial
activities that took place on the site including quarrying,
cloth dying and more recently a Victorian brewery. A more
extensive excavation is expected to be confirmed as part of the
planning process and will be undertaken in the New Year.
