Firstly I would like to say that it has not been easy to respond to this consultation because of the lack of clarity of the web site. I had to ring up and be talked through this. My objection is very late. Previous attempts have been unsuccessful. I know a lot of people who objected to the Anglia Square proposals who have not been able to navigate the web site.

I live in the North City area of Norwich in XXXX Road. I feel very fortunate to live in such an attractive and old part of the city which has many beautiful buildings and attractive areas. I think Anglia Square is not the most attractive site as it stands currently. I think it was a design mistake when it was built. The old HMSO building is a very unattractive building too and is a throwback to the worst the 1960's had to offer in development terms. I don't want these buildings to be replaced by other unwanted buildings that detract from the beauty of the area.

I object to a high rise building being built in the Anglia square area or anywhere around the city. But the North of the city is a beautiful and historic area of the city with a sky line currently dominated by the spire of the cathedral. This area needs a building that will not spoil the skyline of the North of the city. Views from the Sewell Park would be spoilt and views from Mousehold. Norwich attracts a lot of visitors because it is such an attractive city. I don't want commercial forces to destroy the unspoiled nature of the city. A high rise building of this magnitude would be detrimental to the design of the city. Commercial forces should not have priority over the resident's of Norwich's quality of life. I think the redevelopment of the Anglia Square area is a good idea but not the current plan of a high rise building that will spoil the city.

The height of the new student accommodation on St Benedicts has also risen too high for my liking. It's great to have more accommodation but not to the determent of the unique skyline that Norwich has. We all want it to remain a fine city.
