A bid to convert a block of city centre offices into flats has hit a snag after being knocked back by the city council.
Three separate applications were submitted to Norwich City Council for the site, for 32, 30 and three flats respectively, across the building s three floors.
However, planners at City Hall have used delegated powers to turn down all three of the proposals as it was judged some of the flats would not receive sufficient sunlight.
In her report refusing the plans, case officer Lara Emerson wrote: The proposals would not provide adequate natural light in all habitable rooms of the dwelling houses.
