Site is adjacent to Broads boundary which is formed by the River Wensum here. The site is a major mixed use development dating from the 1980s, but which has a poor relationship with the river. There are opportunities here to improve the relationship and the public realm. Unlikely to impact in heritage term.

There are opportunities here to improve the relationship between the development, river and and the public realm. Virtually the entire site has turned its back on the river and the public realm has suffered as a consequence. This could be enhanced significantly by working with the developer and the City Council. Opportunity for interpretation exists both of the river frontage and historic uses but also Kings street and the numerous listed Merchants houses and their relationship with the River.
