Vision

Nottingham City aspires to continue grow with dignity, keeping the health and wellbeing of its residents at the heart of every decision made.

With this design code, the city aims to deliver good design and help reduce health care costs over time by preventing ill-health from risks attributed to urban development, including air pollution, poor access to green spaces, flooding and poor housing.

Nottingham aims to achieve healthy, equitable densification by using land more efficiently to achieve a compact, green city. Densification can help us be more sustainable by using our resources and infrastructure more intelligently, therefore reducing our environmental impact.
