Plans for the next phase of a £100 million regeneration project in Derby have been put forward.
Compendium Living, the company delivering the Castleward scheme, has submitted plans to Derby City Council for the latest phase of the project, which will deliver hundreds of new homes.
Castleward sits between the Intu Derby shopping centre and Derby Midland Station.
Compendium has already completed the first phase of the scheme and work is well underway on the second phase.
Now the developer has lodged plans for phase three, which involves constructing 82 homes in John Street on land currently occupied by industrial units.
In planning documents submitted to the city council by HTA Design, on behalf of Compendium, it said: “In January 2019, the design team met with Derby City Council to discuss feasibility studies for phase three of the Castleward development.
“It was agreed at this meeting that the principle of increasing the density was acceptable due to housing market changes and viability issues.
“With this in mind, the proposals look to maintain key principles of the masterplan, while incorporating an increased density on the site.

“In total, 82 units are provided around the site. These are arranged in three, four-storey blocks, around a rear courtyard and parking.
“Across the site a mixture of one and two-bed apartments are provided, alongside two-bed maisonettes.”
Once completed, the new-look Castleward will feature around 800 new homes plus commercial and green space.
It will also benefit from a new £7 million 315-place school with a 39-place nursery, due to be built and opened by September 2021.

“We are currently on site with 54 homes on Carrington Street and the next phase will bring our total of new homes in the area to 300 alongside the new shops, boulevard and Liversage Square that we have developed.
“We are looking forward to continuing our investment in this great city over the coming years and to supporting its success.”
