Benefiting from excellent links between the train station and the city centre, it is proposed that the Castleward area will be re-designed to create an 'Urban Village' with around 2,500 new homes .
Homes will include a mix of apartments and will be focussed on providing family housing . The new community will also benefit from new open spaces and improved facilities for residents.
A greatly enhanced pedestrian network providng key direct routes through the heart of the new community will also be created. Click here to view initial proposals for this route.
Briefly the proposals set out in the Masterplan include the following:
- More than 30 acre site
- 2,500 new homes
- over 500,000 sq ft of new commercial office space
- Community uses including medical facilities, school, recreational space and small retail units
- A new hotel
- More than 1,000 new car parking spaces (multi-storey)
Derby Cityscape is working closely with Derby City Council to bring forward this opportunity and further details of the Castelward area proposals are expected to be submitted.
