Northside Neighbourhood Framework
We Asked
We asked for feedback on the new proposed Northside Neighbourhood Framework. The vision for Northside is to retain the area in employment use but develop new accommodation on vacant plots and under-developed sites to improve the visual appearance and attract new businesses into the area, thereby increasing the number of jobs and job density.
You Said
82% of respondents supported the proposal, and 71% agreed that the framework would assist in attracting investment to the neighbourhood. Feedback suggested that the proposal could help bring jobs and employment opportunities into the area, that it could improve the areas appearance. Feedback also indicated that people wanted to ensure that the transport links in the framework were satisfactory, that the development should ensure high levels of sustainability and carbon neutrality and that appropriate funding could be secured to deliver it.
We Did
All feedback was evaluated, and the masterplan was reviewed with no major amends made to the document. At the Economy regeneration and Housing Committee on 16 July 2024 the Northside Neighbourhood Framework was approved as the council’s approved regeneration strategy for the area.
