Respondent: Norwich Green Party
We object to a Northern City Centre Strategic Regeneration Area based around a large district centre/mixed use development at Anglia Square. We objected to the Anglia Square scheme and participated in the recent public inquiry. We recognise that the Anglia Square site provides the most sustainable and accessible in the city centre. However, in our view and many others, the scheme called in by the Secretary of State is not consistent with sustainable development.
If the scheme is rejected by the Secretary of State, we advocate a low rise high density mixed use development comprising mixed housing, (with a higher percentage of affordable housing), local retail, employment, cultural and community facilities built to high sustainability standards.
Support for a lower number of dwellings than the 1,250 envisaged for Anglia Square, would require new sites to be identified elsewhere. Windfall sites are highly likely.
