This substantial riverside site on Riverside Road offers a clear opportunity for residential-led redevelopment. At c.4.72 acres and with river frontage along the River Yare, the land benefits from dual access off Riverside Road and Dock Tavern Lane and direct links to the A47 and town centre. The new local plan (Policy URB9) proposes the site for a minimum of 100 dwellings with a mixed-use employment area to the north, giving strong policy-led development potential for housing and complementary commercial uses.
The site is currently derelict industrial brownfield with at least one raised building present; demolition and site remediation will be necessary. Flooding risk is very low, and connectivity is excellent — fast broadband and strong mobile signal support modern residential and commercial schemes. Adjacent amenities include local schools (mostly Good Ofsted ratings) and public transport links, useful for family housing or mixed-tenure schemes.
Known constraints are material and must be factored into viability: tenure is unknown, the immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average crime, and existing structures and contamination risk typical of industrial sites will require investigation and budget. Planning is proposed in the draft local plan rather than granted, so delivery depends on the statutory process and any required site works, highways improvements, and community considerations.
For developers and investors comfortable with brownfield regeneration, this is a rare riverside redevelopment plot with scale, policy support, and strong transport links. Costs for demolition, remediation, potential abnormal foundations and community mitigation should be anticipated in early appraisal and cashflow planning.
