Anglia Square Norwich

Iceni secured a resolution to grant consent for the phased redevelopment of a large site in the centre of Norwich, which is currently occupied by a dated 1970s District Shopping Centre site, through working closely with Norwich City Council. This included consent for up to 1,250 homes; 11,350 sqm of hotel floorspace; 9,850 ground floor flexible retail, services, food and drink, office; 1,150 sqm commercial floorspace; a new place of worship; and a new cinema.

The new scheme will provide two new central Plazas designed to significantly enhance pedestrian and cycle movements through the site in a legible and safe manner. It will be defined by a new ‘Landmark Tower’ of up to 20 storeys in height, which will be one of the tallest building in Norwich alongside the Cathedral spire.

Iceni were responsible for the preparation of the Planning Application, accompanying Environmental Statement and Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment. Delivery services included development consultancy, planning and development viability and was critical in attracting in excess of £12 million in grant from Homes England.
