Flood Defences Unlock Derby's Riverside North for Homes
6 Sep
Summary
- Tibbalds selected to create framework for Riverside North development.
- 6.7-hectare site unlocked for regeneration by flood defence works.
- Project aims for mixed homes, shops, and businesses respecting area's history.
Derby City Council has commissioned Tibbalds, a planning and urban design firm, to create a strategic framework for the Riverside North regeneration project. This initiative focuses on a 6.7-hectare site situated between Holmes Bridge and Causey Bridge, adjacent to the Derwent river and bordered by the inner ring road.
Recent flood defence works have made the previously at-risk land suitable for development, effectively unlocking its potential. The planned regeneration seeks to balance respect for the area's historical character with the provision of new residential units, commercial spaces, and businesses. This development is anticipated to stimulate further investment and growth within Derby's city centre.
