Developer Pickstock Group wants to transform the Bill House site on Soho Hill into a mixed-use community, to help reinvigorate the wider area.
It is proposed that the site will get 115 new houses and flats alongside an 80-bed care home. Gross development value is put at 拢48.5m.
The plan comes on the back of early stakeholder engagement, surveys, reports and planning appraisals.
The 2.5-acre site has been vacant in recent years, affected by fires and anti-social behaviour. Pickstock Group development director Liam Davies said that the scheme offered 鈥渁 dynamic approach to different housing typologies, offering affordable housing, open market sale and lease options, alongside a supporting care provision offer鈥�.
Pickstock professional services team includes Glancy Nichol Architects and RPS Group, a Tetra Tech company.
Glancy Nichol managing director Adam McPartland said: 鈥淭his will be a comprehensive redevelopment of a brownfield site that is sensitive to the local characteristics, providing multi generation living, aligned with the needs of the local community. The scheme will create a sense of place that feels authentic, uplifting and contributing to the wider regeneration and delivery aspirations for the area.鈥�
RPS planning director Jacob Bonehill added: 鈥淭hese proposals offer an opportunity to deliver much needed new homes and employment opportunities beyond the city centre. While the continued renaissance of the city core should be celebrated, for far too long the benefits of growth have been focused within the Inner Ring Road. This is precisely why the vision set out in the Central Birmingham Framework 2045 rightly looks to support developments like this in locations such as Soho Hill鈥�.
