To approve the accuracy of the minutes of the meeting held on 7 March 2022.

Purpose - To update members on the introduction of an article 4 direction to remove permitted development rights for the conversion of offices to residential within Norwich city centre.

Purpose - To report and discuss the key findings of the March 2022 Norwich City Centre Shopping and Town Centre Floorspace Monitor.  

The Norwich City Centre Shopping and Town Centre Floorspace Monitor is the council’s monitoring report advising of vacancy rates and changes of shop type across the city centre. Monitoring ensures that the council can measure the implementation of policies on retail monitoring and consider whether to implement them in a more flexible manner or to take an alternative approach taking into consideration market demands and trends. The March 2022 monitor is an update to the July 2021 monitor rather than containing a full analysis.
