Introduction The purpose of this marketing brief is to invite tender submissions from developers / retail operators with the aim of delivering a high quality retail-led scheme in accordance with national and local land policies for the site.
Description The site is located on the southern edge of Birmingham around
9 kilometres from Birmingham City Centre. Developed over 3 phases spanning the 1950’s through to the 1970’s the 3 Estates accommodates some 4,000 households, which are distinct in character due to the prevailing social housing styles of the time.
The area is located around 1.5 kilometres from Kings Norton railway station to the north, with Kings Norton Village Green providing local financial and retail services within 1 kilometre of the Estates. The A441 provides the main vehicular connection between the Estates and the M42 motorway to the south and Birmingham City Centre to the north. Bus services provide links to the surrounding neighbourhoods of Northfield, Cotteridge and Druids Heath, and connections to Kings Norton Business Park, Kings Norton railway station and Birmingham City Centre.
The development site is marked with a red line on the site plan attached and extends to circa 2.61 Hectares (6.45 Acres). The site currently comprises a mix of residential dwellings and the Council is in the process of obtaining vacant possession prior to initiating a comprehensive clearance programme, further details of which are set out below.
Use In accordance with local land-use planning policies the site is
considered suitable for development of a Retail Food Store. Additional work has been undertaken to allow development of a store of up to 5,575sqm and four to five shops to a total of 450sqm to form a New Local Centre.
Planning The site sits within the Kings Norton Planning Framework Area, which
sets out a vision, land use proposals and Planning and Design Guidance for the Pool Farm, Primrose and Hawkesley Estates.
The redevelopment proposals are supported through City Council Planning resolutions and extensive Public consultation. They are also supported by a strong national and local planning policy background provided by the Kings Norton Planning Framework and other relevant Planning Policy Statements, and Guidance Notes, including the Birmingham Plan and emerging Core Strategy. A copy of the Kings Norton Planning Framework and Design Guidelines can be accessed via the Councils Planning website, www.birmingham.gov.uk/3estates.
