Discount store Home Bargains last year secured planning permission from Norwich City Council for a new store in units A and C of Cathedral Retail Park in Westwick Street.

The retailer is merging the two units together and refurbishing the interiors, which it stated were in "poor condition" in the planning documents it lodged with City Hall.

Home Bargains already has two stores in the city - in Drayton Road and on the Hall Road Retail Park.
