Description

SUMMARY
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a site with full planning permission for the development of 15 open market apartments in the City of Norwich, ideally located next to the Anglia Square redevelopment & wider regeneration of the NR3 area.

DESCRIPTION
Full planning permission was issued on 11 September 2026 for the erection of 11 x 1 bed and 4 x 2 bed apartments over four floors with a courtyard, bike store and bin store to the rear under Planning Ref 21/00182/F-20 via Norwich City Council. Copies of the planning and technical drawings and reports are available from the sole selling agents. For full copies of the drawings and associated reports please request access to the data link which shall be provided via email following registration of interest. The section 106 agreement is yet to be signed, however terms have been agreed which can be provided as part of the data link.

Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.

Topography
The site currently contains a two-storey former pub with residential above and is ready for demolition as part of the planning consent. The site is secured with permitted hoarding and access gates at each end.

Site Size
The site measures 0.12 acres (0.05 hectares) and is held freehold under two titles. The majority is held under Title no. NK120823, and a smaller parcel is held under Title no. NK530693.

Location
Norwich has a rich history and retains much of its medieval character. The River Wensum provides the focal point to many of the winding streets, public squares and landmark buildings. The site itself is a short walk away from Norwich Cathedral, Castle Museum, Norwich Market, City Hall and Guildhall to name a few - all of which are within a 15 minute walk.

Transport links are excellent with Norwich Rail Station 22 minutes walk, Edward Street bus stop within three minutes walk and Norwich Airport a 17 minute drive away. The A11 is easily accessed via St Crispins Road for those looking to travel/commute outside of the City Centre.
