NRL aims to "unlock" five sites

Consultants are working to unlock the potential of five prominent neglected building sites in Nottingham.
(Sourced from Evening Post.)
Feasibility studies have been commissioned for each one, to help overcome the barriers that have prevented regeneration.
It is hoped the work can then be used as a template to tackle dozens of other derelict patches of land across the city as the economy improves and the appetite for new development increases.
This will have a knock-on effect of creating jobs, providing housing, attracting businesses and investment and renewing confidence in the city.
The work is being carried out as part of the Design 10 program – a partnership between the private and public sector which aims to improve the quality of architecture, urban design and public realm in Nottingham, and includes the following sites:
Bobbers Mill, Alfreton Road, Radford.
172 to 176 Main Street, Bulwell.
The former Texaco Garage, on land between Meadows Way, Ryehill Street and Truman's Road, The Meadows.
Land between Vernon Road, Bulwell Lane and Southwark Street, Old Basford.
The former Southwark Junior School, Southwark Street, Old Basford.
Mike Taylor, regeneration director at Nottingham Regeneration Ltd, said: "This exercise is about identifying constraints and route maps going forward on how to unlock these development sites."
