North Quay regeneration : development partner

Willmott Dixon is the developer appointed by Great Yarmouth Borough Council to be its partner for the North Quay project.

The company will work with the council to create a vibrant mixed-use development that will strengthen the town's social and economic future.

Next year there will be detailed community consultation and public engagement with local residents and stakeholders to help shape the proposals, with a planning application expected to be submitted in 2026.

The development will comprise a mix of leisure amenities, retail space, residential areas and revamped public spaces - all designed to complement and preserve the town's rich history and heritage by creating a welcoming environment that serves residents, businesses and visitors.

The council's vision for North Quay is to generate new employment opportunities, boost local tourism and support mental health and wellbeing by delivering spaces that reflect the evolving needs of the community.

Willmott Dixon's team of regeneration experts will look at improving connectivity and accessibility, to reinforce North Quay's strategic role as a gateway to the town centre and its proximity to the railway station.

Willmott Dixon was recently appointed to deliver a similar regeneration of Dover's town centre and extends its track-record in working with local authorities to transform key sites for future growth and prosperity, with the company also working with Torbay Council to regenerate several sites in Torquay and Paignton.
