Summary sheet
Capital investment programme dedicated to the development and refurbishment of the University of East Anglia's campus in Norwich.
The purpose of the project is to refurbish teaching, research and supporting facilities of the University of East Anglia. The refurbished facilities will form part of the university campus situated in the centre of Norwich. The UEA has prepared a comprehensive Campus Refurbishment Plan. The objective of the plan is to expand the current campus by refurbishing some of the adjacent buildings for use by the university.
Universities and research institutions are not specifically mentioned in the EIA Directive on Environmental Impact Assessment. An EIA is therefore not required in accordance with the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. However, parts of the investment cover the construction of new facilities and therefore may be covered by Annex II of the Directive in relation to urban development. The Bank’s services will verify during appraisal whether an EIA is required for any component of the project.
The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Dir. 2004/18/EEC/ or 2004/17/EEC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
