Anglia Square in the news – April to July 2022

The planning application to develop Anglia Square is still with the council’s planning department, and a decision yet to be made.

Although the formal consultation period has closed, representations are still being accepted by the city council, so if you haven’t yet made your views known, you can do so by looking at the plans at www.norwich.gov.uk/AngliaSquare, where there is also a link to the planning site where you can make comments.

In the meantime, the debate continues in the media.  Here are some of the latest stories:
