CGA are pleased to announce that planning permission been granted by Norwich City Council for the construction of a new 25-unit sheltered housing scheme for the elderly. The project marks the second phase of CGA’s involvement with The Great Hospital, a charitable foundation, which has been providing care in Norwich for over 750 years.

CGA have aided The Great Hospital in preparing a masterplan for its Norwich Campus. The first major phase of works was completed in 2014, providing 18 flats & two new courts in the centre of the historic site.

This phase of work sees the introduction of a new purpose built 19-unit accommodation block & the remodelling of the East Ward to provide enhanced resident facilities. Listed building consent has also been granted for remodelling & change of use for the adjacent building White Cottages in order to provide a further 6 units. This programmatic change of use is a part of the charity’s strategic aim to become a 21st Century best practice model of care delivery for the elderly.
