Feilden+Mawson secured detailed planning permission for the residential redevelopment of a long-derelict site at Barrack Street in Norwich, for Cambridge-based developer Hill.

The scheme provides 220 new homes in a mixture of townhouses and flats, whilst creating a new public access between Barrack Street and the river, and an attractive landscaped setting for the standing remains of the medieval city wall that run across the middle of the site.

A pair of Listed workers’ cottages on the Barrack Street frontage were refurbished, and the listed St James Mill immediately west of the site provides a new improved home for the Jarrold collection of historic printing equipment. Phase 1 and Phase 2 are now both complete.
