Representation ID: 22242
Received: 16/03/2020
Respondent: Mr Chris Watts
On behalf of our client, Columbia Threadneedle Investments, and its development partner for the Anglia Square proposals, Weston Homes Plc, we hereby submit representations to the Regulation 18 Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP).
Anglia Square is the most significant regeneration site in Norwich City Centre and currently the subject of a ‘call in’ public inquiry for comprehensive redevelopment comprising up to 1,250 homes (including a minimum of 120 affordable homes), hotel, ground floor retail and commercial floorspace, cinema, multistorey car parks, place of worship, and associated works to the highway and public realm.
Accordingly, we support the provisions of Policy GNLP0506 which allocates land at and adjoining Anglia Square for residential-led mixed use development as the focus for an enhanced Large District Centre and to act as a catalyst for wider investment in Norwich City Centre.
We consider it a realistic prospect that the site will deliver in the region of 1,200 homes including a minimum of 120 affordable homes. This accounts for viability considerations and is consistent with the current proposals for Anglia Square.
