Brownfield LZC Strategy Leicester


Simply by typing in 'Brownfield policy Leicester' into Google, I stumbled upon this little beauty.

It is a presentation, given in 2010 by AECOM detailing carbon outputs and strategies for building on brownfield sites.

Areas being discussed for development are the Abbey Meadows area of the city, as well as the All Saints Road Area (incorporated into an area called Waterside, as shown in Figure 1) which I have discussed previously in this blog.

 Interestingly, this site has been earmarked for high density dwellings (101-250 dewllings per hectare).  However, the current single apartment block that stands on a section of this site has many empty properties, so this type of accommodation doesn't suit.  Much of this block is being used as self catering apartments.
