This Hatchbury development, their second Birmingham scheme after The Photographic Works, will rejuvenate the 1960s warehouse site with 77 new homes, balconies, terraces, gardens and communal outdoor spaces.

The existing site is now vacant with the last lease running out in March 2022.

The site will then be on the straight and narrow to be demolished, before construction provides a range of studios, one & two-bedroom apartments, townhouses and a duplex.

There will be a heavily landscaped internal courtyard, with all ground floor apartments equipped with their own private gardens within it. Apartments will also feature recessed or Juliette balconies. It's a car-free scheme with up to 75 cycle spaces included.

Following approval, procurements & the relevant discharging of conditions, demolition will commence, with construction thereafter.

Looks very nice inside with the gardens etc - if they look like that - and it does generally look encouraging. Not sure it does much for the ambience of the street scene though - brick is fine for me, but it lacks anything to set it off - trees, some detail, I'm not sure what exactly.

There’s a huge opportunity here for Shadwell St, considering Snow Hill Wharf has made the whole length of the street one way, and now with the LTN on Lower Loveday St, the road has become very quiet, and there’s a opportunity here to make the road a narrow tree lined boulevard which would be a fantastic connection between St Chads tram stop all the way through to the Aston University student accommodation area, with the addition of Lancaster Wharf and Princip Street developments too.

These are the things the City planners should be looking in to, it’s all fun implementing LTNs everywhere, but then there’s no ambition to go further. Would be a great entrance into the GQ and would also avoid navigating through St Chad Queensway and Lancaster Circus.

My guess is something like what you have said will be the next steps for all of those LTN roads. The restrictions are mainly marked by temporary barriers. My guess is that when these are replaced, the treatment of the roads will be in the discussion. It a bit like the ones in Snowhill which at first were marked out by road markings for a few years before the pocket parks were put in place.
