Bin collection holding up London Street flat plan in Norwich

Plans were submitted on June 25 to convert first and second floor offices at 69 London Street, above the former Cooperative bank, into four new flats.

However, Norwich City Council planning officers have commented on the proposal saying the plans "do not show details" for waste and recycling bins.

They added that for the application to proceed it would "require detailed plans on where the bins would be stored for collection".

The Citywide Services comment continued: "They cannot be stored on the public highway - London Street - and the alley - Clement Court - to the rear has very limited space."

They added if "any bins are stored in Clement Court, they would need to be presented in Redwell Street" and then "taken back to Clement Court after collection".

However, the council's "collection crews will not collect from Clement Court due to long waits on Redwell Street, blocking traffic". 

Below the proposed flats a separate application was put in for a new kitchen and bar, called Amelia's, last month.
