Barton Quarter will be a major new place
for business, to live and to enjoy. It will include offices, apartments
and town houses, shops, cafes/bars/restaurants and a health and fitness
centre and/or crèche
facility.
Our planning application for the development was
submitted in September 2007.
Our proposals have been prepared over the
last two years. Our
aim is to harness the potential of the site; close to Beeston town
centre and Castle College and on a major route between the motorway
and Nottingham city centre. The Nottingham Express Transit
proposed extension will run past the site in 2013. We want to transform
what is largely an underused and increasingly obsolescent site into
an exciting new mixed use urban quarter.
The layout and design has been carefully
conceived, with buildings grouped around two new urban spaces – a square and a major
new landscaped green. Our proposals provide the framework for high
quality buildings and we will encourage sustainable design – by
conserving and generating energy on site, reducing the need to travel
and reducing water consumption.
