PJA are delighted to be part of the team that assisted St. Modwen to reach the latest milestone at its flagship Longbridge development after Birmingham City Council granted planning permission for a new neighbourhood of 350 new homes.
This latest phase builds on the 1,450 homes and 3,000 full-time jobs already delivered by St. Modwen, which has already boosted the local community and economy.
St. Modwen has worked in partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority which has contributed £6 million of grant funding to support the redevelopment of the West Longbridge area.
West Longbridge will also feature 27 acres of attractive, green space connected to the nearby Austin Park, including a mile of the River Rea which will open to the public for the first time.
Our team assisted with transport planning, masterplanning and landscape design of the site while our flood risk consultants and civil engineers designed the restoration of the River Rea to enable the construction of the new river corridor.
Work is already underway on the infrastructure throughout the 75-acre site and represents a significant part of the overall £1 billion regeneration project that is being undertaken.
The new homes will be built by St. Modwen Homes and construction is expected to begin by Autumn 2022.
