Housebuilder’s £271m Anglia Square scheme rejected by housing secretary last month
Weston Homes has confirmed it will launch a High Court challenge to the government’s decision to refuse planning for the £271m Anglia Square housing scheme in Norwich.
Housing secretary Robert Jenrick threw out the Broadway Malyan-designed proposal to build 1,200 homes and a 20-storey tower in the city’s medieval centre last month.
