School Redevelopment

Cornerstone Assets was commissioned to undertake a viability study and options appraisal for the reprovision of the Hewitt Academy in Norwich to be funded by enabling housing development. Our work included an assessment of the potential for land sales to fund the school development options including using an enabling development approach. This involved looking at the density, location and type of housing to maximize the land value, whilst adhering to any planning policies.
We also liaised with the local planning authority and County Council to gauge the level of support for renewing the school.
