Description Scarles Yard comprises a purpose built multi storey car park of concrete frame construction with ancillary integrated warehouse / workshop units located along its Kings Lane frontage. The car park provides approximately 823 car parking spaces, over ground, first and second storeys, with entrances from Kings Lane and Holls Lane accessed via a secure barrier system. The workshop units are incorporated into the Kings Lane elevation and accessed via roller shutter doors. They are currently used by Aviva for document storage and other ancillary uses associated with Aviva’s other operations in central Norwich. The car park is for exclusive use of Aviva employees, who pay a monthly fee for weekday access. On Saturdays and Bank Holidays the car park is open to the public for a flat daily fee of £2.00, which offers a very competitive alternative to the city centre and shopping centre car parks, and is particularly popular when Norwich City play at home. Opening hours are Monday – Friday 06.00 to 21.30, Saturdays 07.00 to 18.00 and Bank Holidays 08.00 to 18.00.

Accommodation The property comprises approximately 823 car parking spaces arranged over three storeys, with integrated ancillary workshop / warehouse accommodation, and an office for the car park manager. The workshop accommodation is arranged over ground floor with part mezzanine floors, and divided into three independently accessed units. The total floor space (GIA) is approximately 15,303 sq ft on ground floor, with a further 5,563 sq ft at first floor mezzanine level. Each unit is independently accessed via both a roller shutter door and a pedestrian door.

Aviva was launched as a brand in July 2002, the group having been formed by the merger of CGU and Norwich Union in 2000. The group has been in business for over 300 years, and due to its pre-merger ties to Norwich continues to maintain a significant operational presence in the city.
