Homes England has completed the acquisition of Carrow Works, the former Colman’s Mustard and Robinsons squash factory site in Norwich.

Carrow Works is a 17-hectare site with a unique historic character, located close to both the city centre and the riverside, offering strong potential for the creation of a high-quality and vibrant community.

Homes England will collaborate closely with Norwich City Council and other partners to prepare detailed development plans for the area. Active involvement from residents, stakeholders, and local organisations will be essential in guiding the project, ensuring that the site’s heritage is carefully preserved and thoughtfully incorporated into a new urban district for the city.

Carrow Works forms part of the wider East Norwich Strategic Regeneration Area (ENSRA), which has been identified by Norwich City Council for the delivery of up to 3,500 homes. It will also feature a new employment space, public spaces, and improved access to the rivers Wensum and Yare, The Broads, and surrounding green spaces.
