Plans to develop the former armaments depot at Broughton Moor are taking off. We meet the man behind it all, Nigel Catterson.

Derwent Forest is set to become a model for sustainable living.

The Derwent Forest Development Consortium has unveiled a masterplan to make the former RN armaments depot at Broughton Moor into a national exemplar for sustainable living with up to 2,000 new homes, a hotel, treehouses and lodges, tree-top skywalks, an innovation centre and more.

In this podcast, Nigel Catterson, the businessman whose vision of ‘utropia’ led to the formation of the consortium, explains the thinking behind the project.
