Warning Issued Over Anglia Square Trespassing

Wednesday, 26 August 2026 08:12

Norwich City Council has warned people to stay out of condemned Anglia Square buildings after rooftop trespassing images appeared online.

Norwich City Council has issued another warning about the dangers of entering condemned buildings at the Anglia Square demolition site.

It follows social media posts from an urban explorer showing images taken from inside Sovereign House and from the roof of the former office block.

The building is currently cordoned off as demolition work continues across the wider Anglia Square site.

Sovereign House and neighbouring Gildengate House are among the major remaining structures due to be demolished as part of the redevelopment.

Norwich City Council says it has repeatedly warned people about the serious risks of entering a live demolition site without permission.

The authority says anyone found trespassing could be reported to Norfolk Police.

Previous unauthorised break-ins have also prompted concerns that people entering the site could put themselves at risk and disrupt demolition work.

The clearance of Anglia Square forms part of a major £350 million redevelopment which is expected to deliver around 1,100 new homes alongside shops, leisure facilities, community spaces and public areas.

The council says demolition work is continuing and is urging people to stay outside secured areas while the site is prepared for redevelopment.
