Employment land for industrial development

Summary

There are many sites in the district that have employment land available for industrial development, including Longwater in Costessey, Colney and sites in Wymondham and Diss. We have helped to provide new sites at Diss, Harleston and Long Stratton.

Further information

Longwater, Costessey

A major development at Longwater, Costessey, to the west of Norwich is allocated for a variety of uses from retail to special industrial. Sainsburys has already located a store there as well as Lind, the largest BMW/Mini dealership in the East and Uniglaze 2, both large employers who have moved out of Norwich City Centre to South Norfolk.
