All four sites are where garages have been demolished or are cleared sites owned by Nottingham City Council (NCC) – and are part of a wider programme to regenerate areas of the city and build 350 new council homes by 2017. We have registered all the sites with The Considerate Constructors Scheme and have targeted a score beyond compliance. The Code for Sustainable Homes assessment will be conducted by Woodhead Living’s in House Code For Sustainable Homes Assessor.
The bungalows and family homes will be managed by Nottingham City Homes (NCH) once they have been completed. We will give ten NCH apprentices the chance to work on new builds for the first time providing the apprentices with vital upskilling opportunities.
