ThreeScore, Bowthorpe
– All Phases

The ThreeScore development in Bowthorpe on the outskirts of Norwich is a development of a care home, (phase 1) and 229 high quality social and private one to four-bedroom homes built in two phases (phases 2 and 3).

The residential development began in 2017 and was undertaken by Lion Homes (Norwich) Ltd, a body set up by Norwich City Council to meet the demand for new housing across the city. Phase 2 comprises 153 homes completed in August 2021 and Phase 3 comprises 76 homes completed in June 2024.

95 of the Phase 2 homes are highly energy-efficient Passivhaus designs with the other homes built to building regulations plus standard. They are designed to maximise solar heat and have triple glazed windows, mechanical ventilation, very high levels of insulation and an air tight envelope which cannot exceed 0.6 air permeability on an air test.

The standard plots are designed with a standard red brick and grey tiled pitched roofs.

Due to the successful completion of the first two phases, R G Carter were contracted to build the 76 homes in Phase 3 which commenced in Spring 2022 and completed in June 2024.

Phase 3 of the project was awarded an EXCELLENT score at every Considerate Constructor Scheme inspection.
