Plans for a new, low carbon, garden neighbourhood in Nottingham have been submitted to the city council by Blueprint.
The 66-home development, consisting of a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom houses, would be constructed at the former Elms Primary School on Cranmer Street.
The existing school buildings would be demolished.
A design statement reads: “The Elms will be a distinctive, low carbon, garden neighbourhood that recognises Nottingham’s past and which thrives into the future. The Elms will be constructed and inhabited in ways which promote our environmental well-being, supporting an holistic approach to sustainable living.
“The development blurs the boundaries between living, working, play and nature, aiming to foster an engaged and healthy community. The design and specification will be carbon responsible with homes that are comfortable and green, inside and out.
“It will be a distinctive place which promotes positive well-being by providing accessible spaces within a supportive community. The Elms will be a garden city neighbourhood of the 21st Century, addressing different needs and wants to create a diverse and connected community close to the heart of Nottingham’s centre.”
