The redevelopment of Nottingham's riverside continues with the third phase of the Trent Basin housing development underway.
But Blueprint, the company behind the scheme, want to know what you want next at the site.
A new public consultation, which the firm says will be pivotal to the next design phases in the neighbourhood, has now launched.
Sam Veal, chief executive at Blueprint, said: “This consultation will set our vision for the next chapter at Trent Basin and we think it vital to consider what our local community thinks.
"We are still in the design process and so open to new ideas and thoughts. We intend to provide green sustainable living in contemporary, stylish homes with a lower carbon footprint, but feedback is important to us, particularly when we are considering the shared and green spaces to be incorporated into our plans and uses for the basin inlet itself."
Phase 3 is already in construction, the following stages will see another 200 homes, plus a new school built at the location over the next few years. Blueprint believes that the design of these phases presents a unique opportunity to deliver a 21st century living environment that relates to Nottingham's unique riverside character. Homes will be low carbon energy efficient.
Sam added: “We aim to create a neighbourhood that is connected and walkable for school, work and leisure, with shared spaces for meeting neighbours and play. Whilst also forming a community that is living responsibly, enjoying nature and caring for the planet.
“The growing community at Trent Basin has a strong voice through an active Residents Association, which has already shaped future plans for the development. We would like to continue with that integrated approach and reach out to the wider community.
“We are also in discussions with Nottingham City Council, ahead of our planning application, to ensure the technical elements of our design work to their planning guidance and fit with the City’s plans for the wider Nottingham Waterside Regeneration area.”
As part of the consultation, Blueprint has worked with digital firm Deetu, to create an interactive consultation site with aerial images, audio commentary and fly-through 360-degree digital flows. Have your say by visiting the consultation site https://my.engaged.space/trentbasin/#home
The consultation will close on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 in preparation for the planning application that will be submitted in 2021.
