Protecting the Environment

The Ouseburn covers an area of 100 hectares and is in the mixed ownership of the City Council, the Ouseburn Trust, developers and a number of private business owner/occupiers and landlords.

As a designated Conservation Area, unique heritage features will be preserved and enhanced to create a vibrant townscape, blending this legacy with high quality design.

Sustainable development is seen as an integral part of the regeneration of the Ouseburn, to encourage a balanced mix of land uses and meet the economic and social needs of existing and future communities.
