Broadland Business Park
LSI's masterplan for this 45-acre site in North East Norwich has been largely developed out in the ensuing decade with LSI-designed buildings.
The 25% plot cover, and the landscaping and rainwater collection strategy have helped to increase the site’s biodiversity. Orientation for southerly views also helps to enhance the scheme’s intrinsic passive performance.
BBP represents one of several LSI masterplan studies which have become ‘live’, subsequently reaching the point of being virtually developed out.
Vehicle access and servicing arranged to the rear of buildings, enabled ‘frontages’ with landscaped setting for recreation and pedestrian movement. KBC came under pressure to raise sustainability higher on the agenda, facilitating LSI’s debate with the developer about the viability of measures within the leasehold market.
