The second phase of a vast new waterside neighbourhood has been given the green light.
The first 73 homes at Pelham Waterside are nearing completion and the next part of the development, recently approved, is to construct a further 12 houses and 27 apartments.
The project has transformed brownfield land in Trent Lane, between Nottingham and Colwick, near the River Trent.
Steve Milan, associate and lead for the scheme at CPMG Architects, said: “We’re delighted to have received planning for the second phase of Pelham Waterside. Our design ethos at CPMG is people, purpose, place, and these three principles drive all of our designs from every angle.
"However, the coronavirus pandemic has certainly driven home the message of how important our environment is to our wellbeing – both in our homes and in our access to quality outdoor space.”
He added: “The upper floors of both the townhouses and apartments benefit from large picture windows and roof terraces that offer views of both the River Trent and the city’s transforming skyline.
"We have also carried out external landscaping to create green public space around the mature trees on the eastern boundary of the site, to promote wellbeing and create inviting outdoor spaces.”
Access roads into and through the site have been planned.
Nick Gregory, director at CPMG, said: “At a time when our home city is undergoing a drastic transformation and major redevelopment in the city centre, these homes will bring new residents to the riverside area and rejuvenate a previously disused industrial site on the east side of Trent Lane.
“We have a great deal of expertise in delivering excellent residential schemes and creating new communities with beautiful homes, particularly within Nottingham itself, and we’re looking forward to continuing our work with Pelham Homes to make Pelham Waterside a reality.”
Allan Fisher, director of Pelham Homes, said: “We are really pleased to be contributing to the regeneration in this area of Nottingham."
Luxury riverside apartment blocks have regenerated the city's riverside in recent years.
One includes the River Crescent development, in Waterside Way near the Pelham Waterside site, which was built in 2008-09 and includes more than 100 two and five-bedroom apartments.
It was home to the former England football manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson, during his brief spell at Notts County in 2009.
Meanwhile, a site has been purchased for a new school that's set to serve the Trent Basin development, currently in its third phase.
