Sitting on over 4 quare kilometres of land, just north of Norwich in the Rackheath, Woodbastwick and Salhouse areas.
The centre could feature 8,000 hotel rooms, two golf courses, an outdoor stage and it's own dual carriage way, and would become the largest convention centre in the UK.
Dubbed the Norfolk Hub, London architects and planners have submitted a plan and proposal to Broadland District Council. though yesterday the plans were criticised by local residents, business' and MP's as a cheap “Disney World” for the Broads.
A potential anonymous potential funder was in place but with an estimated build time of around five plus years I would not start to worry too soon.
It could include:
- 11 hotels, ranging from two to five stars, with a total of 8,000 rooms
- A convention centre providing three large halls of 12,000sq ft, 10,000 sq ft and 6,000 sq ft and 50 meeting rooms
- A new dual carriageway link to the national road network
- An outdoor stage for large scale open air events
- An indoor sports centre
- A new ultra light rail connection to the city and airport
- A small monorail running on a loop track inside the site
- Lorry parks for event organisers
- Shopping mall and floating restaurants
- New lake and canals
- All weather tropical water park under a glass enclosure
- Two 18-hole golf courses

For accommodation in Norwich remember to visit this website. I found it to be very useful http:// www.a1tourism.com/uk/norwich.html
Norfolk is not the new florida, so so so much history and feel of the Norfolk broads would be lost. This can not surely happen, its the most rediculous plan I have ever EVER heard in my life living in Norwich, Surely situating it near london would be 10000 times more senstible. Not to mention, rackheath is the location of A NEW ECOTOWN, how is this going to be economically helpful in anyway to the broads.
