Images released of huge Nightingale Quarter scheme

The first images of the huge residential development set to be built on the site of the former Derby Royal Infirmary have been released.

BJD Investors and Developers have submitted plans for a revised Nightingale Quarter on the site. The company says it will “deliver a high-quality residential neighbourhood” on the site and has submitted plans to Derby City Council which will be voted on by the Planning Committee on 14 February next year. If successful, work will commence in August 2019, with the first homes available in autumn 2020.

The site is now expected to incorporate close to 800 new homes. Following consultation, BJD has decided against including retail on the site.

James Dickens, founder of BJD, said: “Derby City Council and Marketing Derby have been a pleasure to work with, their pragmatic approach and can-do attitude has been greatly received by us as a developer.”
