About this property

Detailed Description

The Food Enterprise Park is a 100 acre development site within the Greater Norwich Food Enterprise Zone, the first 46 acres of which benefits from Local Development Order status with fast track planning to encourage and support food production, processing and agriculture through the co-location of commercial enterprises. Plots are available to buy or lease to accommodate facilities of 10,000 sq ft to 300,000 sq ft.

Situated to the west of Norwich at Honingham, the FEP immediately adjoins the A47, one of the main transport routes in the region, linking Norwich to Kings Lynn and Peterborough to the west, and providing easy access to London and Cambridge via the duelled A11 and M11.

The historic city of Norwich has an urban population of 213,000 (2011 Census) and offers an outstanding quality of life, with the stunning coastline, historic towns and Norfolk Broads all within easy reach.

A47 Road Improvements

The Government has agreed to £200m of improvements to the A47, including the dualling of the single carriageway section between North Tuddenham and Easton.

The upgrade works are scheduled for 2024/2025 and propose a direct access to the site with a new roundabout. Journey times to and from the site will be significantly improved.
