A disused office building has been acquired by Norwich City Council to add to the regeneration plans for Anglia Square.
The former Barclays bank building on the corner of Anglia Square from Abbey Memorials (Stonecraft) has been bought to try to deliver a more comprehensive redevelopment scheme to replace the Anglia Square shopping centre.
The building was earmarked for demolition in the original regeneration plans by Weston Homes and landowner Columbia Threadneedle. Now the council owns the site it plans to press ahead with the consented scheme for around 1,100 new homes alongside new retail, leisure, and community facilities – and come up with fresh plans for the. Barclays site.
Cllr Carli Harper, cabinet member for finance and major projects, said: “This former bank will now be included in the wider redevelopment approach. Its inclusion strengthens our ability to deliver a better place for local people in the new Anglia Square.”
Demolition plans for the building, which is in a conservation area, have been submitted to the council’s planning department.
