Beyond Green Developments in Broadland Beyond Green

About Us

We create better places. We bring together finance and expertise to plan, deliver and manage places that are well-crafted, enduring and sustainable. Places that provide much-needed new homes and complementary facilities in beautiful and resilient places. Places that bring transport, housing, open spaces and public services together. And that are built and run in ways that make it easier and more enjoyable to live pleasurable, healthy, active and environmentally sustainable lifestyles and that are fit for the extraordinary challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

We integrate principles from places of the past with new thinking to make places that stand the tests of time.

We work together with landowners, investors, government, communities, businesses, planners and designers to understand different perspectives, create partnerships and collectively solve problems and create humane, civilised places.

We ask 'how shall we live?' before we ask 'what shall we build?' We invest in the things that make neighbourhoods great places to live in, like schools, bus routes, allotments, play spaces and community centres as well as places to work and shop.

Broadland

Beyond Green Developments is working with a consortium of landowners including the Beeston Estate, Norfolk County Council, the Alderman Norman Foundation and the Morley Agricultural Foundation to bring forward proposals for the development of a sustainable new community on land in Broadland district on the northern edge of Norwich. The area is part of the Old Catton, Sprowston, Rackheath and Thorpe St Andrew Growth Triangle, an area identified by the GNDP as having the potential to accommodate thousands of new jobs and homes over the next 20 years.

The landowner consortium comprises a number of charitable trusts. They – and we – are taking a long-term perspective and seeking to leave behind a positive legacy for local people.

Beyond Green has spent over a year talking to a wide range of local organisations and people including the local authorities, elected representatives, parish councils, the business community, charities and local interest groups to gain a thorough understanding of the area. In June 2011, we continued this process through a series of events including specialist workshops and public exhibitions.

Information on the workshops and more can be found using the following links:

Beyond Green in Broadland: Q&As

In the follow up to the design workshops held in October, Beyond Green provides answers to the following commonly asked questions:

Do you own the land? Which landowners are you working with?
Why are you proposing housing here?
What stage of the process are you at? When might development start?
How will the development be phased? When will new schools, services and community facilities be built for example?
Have you worked out what the mix of housing types will be?
Will you build all the houses yourselves? How would you ensure that what you promise in terms of design quality and sustainability will be delivered?
What are your proposals for Beeston Park? Would it be a local park or a bigger attraction for the wider area?
Are your proposals dependent on the delivery of the proposed Northern Distributor Road (NDR)?
Will the level of traffic in your proposed High Street allow it to work as a pedestrian environment?
Are your proposals for shops and workplaces realistic or appropriate given the location and the proximity of Blue Boar Tesco, Norwich City Centre, Broadland Business Park etc?
How do you propose that parking be managed?
How can I be kept informed?
