Asda 'would create' 300 jobs with south Norwich superstore
- Published
Up to 300 jobs would be created with the building of an Asda superstore in Norwich, the firm says.
The supermarket would be part of a new development known as Harford Place, off Hall Road.
The site includes the Bally shoe factory and has been earmarked as a potential retail area but further plans have not yet emerged.
Asda said it hoped to bring the area "back to life" and aimed to submit a planning application in early 2012.
It would be part of wider development plans including a gym, pub, offices, smaller shops and a new public square.
Spokesman Chris Martin said: "We are aware that the community has been left frustrated by a lack of progress on Harford Place being redeveloped and would reassure people that we are serious and capable of bringing our plans to fruition.
"As popular as we hope a new Asda store would be, the overall proposals are set to deliver much more than that and would result in a full regeneration of this significant location."
The plans can be viewed at St Paul's church hall on Little John Road, Tuckswood, on 9 and 10 December.
