Planing approved for second phase of Notts Riverside development

Plans submitted by CPMG Architects for the second phase of the ‘Pelham Waterside’ housing development on Trent Lane in Nottingham have been approved by Nottingham City Council. The first phase of 73 homes is nearing completion and phase two will see the construction of a further 12 houses and 27 apartments, located near the banks of the River Trent, close to Nottingham city centre and within the Waterside Regeneration Zone. Owned by Pelham Homes, the properties have been designed to embrace sustainability, community and nature, bringing new residents to the riverside location. The wharf-style town houses create an attractive façade to the development with their combination of cream brickwork, timber cladding and dark aluminium windows. With extensive hard and soft landscaping throughout the development, the community of people that move into these homes will benefit from a high-quality public realm. The development has seen the regeneration of a brownfield site and has sustainability integrated into the design, incorporating thermally-efficient building fabric and the use of low-energy fittings throughout. A combination of good quality brickwork and timber cladding provide a natural feel to the buildings, which also feature generously-sized windows and Juliet balconies, to allow good levels of natural daylight and ventilation throughout. Traffic-calmed access roads into and through the site have been incorporated to ensure safe travel and encourage use of Nottingham’s ample public transport provisions. The project team for phase two of Pelham Waterside is Couch Perry Wilkes, mechanical and electrical consultants and Curtins, structural engineers.For more information about CPMG Architects, please visit www.cpmg-architects.com.
