The issue of the environment has caused concerns
Plans have been revealed for build-to-rent apartments inside a tower which would almost compare to skyscraper Victoria Centre flats. But one former MP has questioned the city's carbon footprint and sustainable development.
READ MORE:Update on plans for 'enormous' 38-storey skyscraper that would dwarf Nottingham's tallest building Mr Simpson said of the plan: "This is classic. Pretty much everyone wants to see Nottingham develop prosperously and not be left with great tracks of abandoned land - but the question now is: What is sustainable development?
Mr Simpson added: "We are on a planet rollercoaster", adding that we have to think our way forward in the sense cities can survive a much more turbulent drive forward for weather events. "So my objection to this was 'who in any terms has said that Nottingham needs more high-rise accommodation at a time where there is a real proliferation of empty buildings and structures that could be bought back to really creative structural use?
According to Nottingham City Council's website on the topic: "Nottingham has reduced its overall CO2 emissions per capita by 57.7%, the highest reduction of any UK core city. During the second year of delivery, significant achievements have been made to help continue the downward trend of CO2 emissions in the city".
