Documents disclosing how 207 hectares of farmland north of Norwich could be transformed into a new community will be revealed in tomorrow’s papers.
Developer Beyond Green, which is representing five landowners, aims to build 3,520 houses near Sprowston and Old Catton in the next 15 to 20 years, which they claim will create 1,000 jobs.
Hundreds of pages of plans on the North Sprowston and Old Catton project have been submitted to Broadland District Council.
And tomorrow’s papers will report on the potential safety risk posed to planes using Norwich International Airport, plans to create new bus services, how many people are expected to live at the site, including even when the first person aged 85 years of age is predicted to live at the development.
The planned development has so far received a mixed response from people living nearby.

Call me dumb, but instead of using all the "green" area's, why not use some of the old rubbish? Old factories that don't get sold, bits of waste ground that get used for dumping, old shops that could be converted into housing......the list is endless. I am sure this would be more popular with most people

I live nearby and I would say the plans have received anything but a mixed response. I haven't heard one person who has a good word to say about it, so where did you get that from?.

I don't think its fair to say "mixed comments"! nobody wants this development and I am not surprised to see that Beyond Greens publicity department is working overtime on these recent articles.
