Designs for a riverside retail and dining area as part of a 670-home development on the edge of the city centre have been revealed.
A total of 1,000sqft has been allocated for a cafe and restaurant space on the northern part of the former May Gurney and Deal Ground sites in Trowse.
A similar-sized area has been put aside for shops and commercial development, in updates lodged with South Norfolk Council.

Facing the River Wensum, this leisure district will help make up an 850sqft public square - equivalent to the size of some market village squares.
It is hoped such facilities will be able to support outdoor eating or farmers' markets.
The May Gurney and Deal Ground sites in Trowse are abandoned and disused, with dilapidated buildings still standing in the former industrial area.
The site was earmarked for development in the East Norwich Masterplan and outline planning was approved in 2013.
But the works have proved controversial among folk living in the area - with many raising concerns about traffic chaos and flooding.
The developer, Serryus Property Company (SPC), is also being investigated for drastic tree felling by the Forestry Commission but insists it did follow correct procedures.
An SPC spokesman said: "We maintain that we have followed all the correct procedures and guidance.
"The project team are currently considering community feedback, following public consultation events that took place last month [May].
"This feedback is being used to inform the final design of the proposal to ensure the best scheme possible for Norwich and Trowse."

Pedestrian and cycle bridges across sections of the river are also in the plans for the site, which is near Whitlingham Country Park.
SPC has split the site into thirds, with the northern section known as Wensum Edge, the middle alongside Carrow Abbey County Wildlife site as Fen Village and the south as Yare Newton.
The developer has previously said it hopes a decision can be made this year so that work can begin in 2024.
