This site lies within the Norwich City Centre Conservation Area and is close to a number of listed buildings including Norwich Castle (which is also scheduled).
Any development of the site therefore has the potential to impact upon a number of heritage assets and their settings.
The policy refers to on site listed buildings although to our knowledge there are no listed buildings actually on site (perhaps there may be some locally listed). There are however nearby listed buildings. Welcome bullet points 3 and 4.

Suggested Change:
Amend bullet point 4 unless there are actually listed buildings within the site boundary.

We consider that there is scope for development of this site, but it will need to be of an appropriate scale and grain for this site. We suggest that specific mention is made of the grade II listed Ferryboat Inn in the policy.

Suggested Change:

The scale and height are crucial in this context. The maximum height should be the same as City Hall.
