A Norfolk developer is planning to regenerate a dilapidated building plagued by antisocial behaviour and doorway drug use into a striking office and residential space near Norwich s Prince of Wales Road.
FW Properties Ltd, owned by Norfolk boys Julian Wells and Ian Fox, is awaiting decision on submitted plans to Norwich City Council to redevelop the building at 1 Ferry Road near Norwich Train Station.
Despite being the head office of Feilden+Mawson Architects since 1970, the plans say the building in its current form desperately needs improvement.

Eric Parry Architects’ proposals for a £170m judicial complex in the City of London were approved today.
The City Corporation’s planning committee approved the scheme despite uproar over the proposed loss of historic buildings including cherished facades on Fleet Street, London’s famous newspaper district.
The development, which will replace an entire city block in a conservation area between Whitefriars Street and Salisbury Court on the south side of Fleet Street, will include a new headquarters for City of London Police, a courts complex and a commercial building to help fund the project.
