Phase Two Completed
We love working on regeneration schemes, particularly ones that make a real difference to the heart of a community – Great Yarmouth Market is an excellent example.
Great Yarmouth, on the Norfolk coast, has had a market since at least the 11th century. Situated in the historic centre of the town, the multi-million-pound re-vamp of the market has been a central part of the Borough Council’s plans to revive Great Yarmouth’s town centre as a vibrant economic and cultural hub in the region. DCP has provided contract administration and quantity surveying services on Phase Two of this scheme, which not only delivers 12 spacious new stalls for regular traders but also room for covered seating. With construction work complete, traders are busy moving in and fitting out the stalls which sit under an architecturally striking wooden canopy, designed by Chaplin Farrant.
The new market provides a much brighter, more inviting, and open space to attract visitors and is just part of the overall regeneration programme for Great Yarmouth. This programme includes further landscaping by the market square, and the re-development of a former department store to provide a new library and education centre – another project with which we’ve been involved, providing party wall and access licence services.
