New eco developments planned

Specialist developer Blueprint has sold around £1 million of industrial land to finance new eco developments in the East Midlands.

The partnership, which specialises in sustainable regeneration and quality design, owns hundreds of commercial properties stretching from The Fens to The Peak District.

It has sold four sites in Lincolnshire – Heckington for £345,000, Alford for £450,000, Bardney for £95,000 and North Somercoates for £185,000 – and will look at releasing more in future.

Blueprint will use the cash to build more projects, such as its sell-out residential success Green Street in Nottingham, the ultra green No.1 Nottingham Science Park and the mixed use Phoenix Square in Leicester.
