The draft Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP), jointly produced by Broadland District, Norwich and South Norfolk Councils, is up for consultation under Regulation 18 until 16th March 2020. This gives everyone a chance to comment on the draft version of the Local Plan but also means that there is a window of opportunity for additional sites to be put forward for consideration as allocations within the GNLP. With our planning advice, you can identify land with strong development potential, and we can help you promote it through the GNLP process in order to maximise its estate value.

On 21 March 2019 the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government called-in the Anglia Square planning application for his own determination. The controversial scheme would include 1234 dwellings, a leisure quarter, cinema, car parks and a hotel being built on the site of the existing deteriorated Anglia Square. The main sticking point is the proposed 20 storey tower which some argue, including Historic England, that it would be ‘profoundly unsympathetic to the character of Norwich’.
The public inquiry will begin on 28 January and is expected to last four weeks during which an inspector will hear the arguments on both sides of the table before making a recommendation to the communities secretary on whether or not should the proposal be approved.
We are proud to announce that planning application was approved for a two-storey dwelling replacing a bungalow neighbouring a War Memorial in Elsenham.

Please check our planning applications page for more information about planning applicaitons.
