PBSA-led mixed-use scheme in Birmingham city centre
Our role
- Planning team provided pre-application planning strategy and advice, led on the pre-application engagement with the LPA, submitted the application for full planning and LBC, and guided it to Planning Committee where members resolved to grant planning permission.
- The proposals included the refurbishment and conversion of two Grade II listed buildings, which both formed part of the historic former Birmingham Accident Hospital.
- Heritage team assessed and advised on the architectural and historic interest of the listed buildings feeding into the design and strategy for their refurbishment.
- Inputs provided from almost full range of our services including Strategic Communications, Sustainability, EIA, Economics, Heritage and Townscape.
Results
- Provided strategic planning advice through pre-application discussions and during determination of the application, leading to unanimous approval at planning committee with all matters resolved.
- Heritage and Townscape team inputted into the design and pre-app discussions to help design a scheme with significant massing but that was sensitive to the Grade II listed buildings
- Strategic Communications team successfully engaged with local residents and councillors helping to achieve planning committee approval.
- The development will provide much needed PBSA and BTR accommodation, boosting Birmingham’s housing supply and supporting the identified need for new homes within the city centre.
- Refurbishing and breathing new life into two historic listed buildings, securing their long-term future. The development will open-up the area around the listed buildings through the provision of high-quality public realm and provide public access to the commercial unit to be located in the western listed building.
