Norwich City Hall Plans Open for Comment Until 30 September
A light-filled atrium, a civic living room and a repaired clock tower: the council wants views on its City Hall plans by 30 September.
Norwich has a tight boundary. The city council’s area stops well short of where the city actually stops, so streets that are Norwich in every practical sense sit in the districts next door and get their bins collected by somebody else. That is one of the reasons this site exists. It was due to change in April 2028, when a new Greater Norwich authority would have taken in the city along with parishes from Broadland and South Norfolk, but the government withdrew that decision on 7 September 2026 and put the whole reorganisation under review.
Until then, and after it, our job is the same. Read what the council publishes, the planning register, the licensing notices, the committee papers and the budgets, and write down what is in them plainly, with a link to the source on every fact.
Start here
- Norwich house prices: £230,000 is the middle of the past year’s sales, and the ward tables show why that number moves so much across the city.
- Trains to London: 1 hour 39 minutes on the fastest train, £10,716 a year on a season ticket, and every weekday departure.
- Roadworks and travel: what is closed now, the A47 Thickthorn work, and all six park and ride sites.
- Things to do in Norwich: the castle keep is open again, and ten more days out in the city cost nothing.
- Planning: housing need is up 34%, land supply is 4.85 years, and Anglia Square is coming down.
