    Badger Building (E. Anglia) Ltd, who are developing the Blundeston Prison site, are looking to relocate their flagship office to Office Block 3 (which has gained approval in planning application DC/16/2157/FUL. Since this office building hasn't been constructed, they are seeking this opportunity to amend the current approved design to satisfy their business requirements.
