The much publicised HS2 rail project, which will unite the area with London, is likely to stimulate further investment, making the city one of the most commercially attractive cities in Europe. Significant investment from home and abroad should help to alleviate the city’s unemployment problem in the coming years, making Birmingham a European hub for international business. The city is regarded as the 18th best city in Europe in which to locate a business (1), providing access to over 100,000 graduates, with competitive advantage in areas like automotive and aerospace research. Commercial Property – Industrial Units, Office Space to Rent 3 A guide to business in Birmingham Key commercial property trends With the development of the HS2 rail project, Birmingham is bracing itself for a boom in commercial property demand, with multi-national firms encouraged to use the city as their primary British base.

  • Mr Martin Ball Cox Turner Morse 21 Fort Dunlop Birmingham West Midlands B24 9FD Our Ref: UT/2009/107117/01-L01 Your Ref
    Mr Martin Ball Our ref: UT/2009/107117/01-L01 Cox Turner Morse Your ref: - 21 Fort Dunlop Birmingham Date: 23 November 2009 West Midlands B24 9FD Dear Mr Ball DRAINAGE ENQUIRY. QUEEN ELIZABETH MERCIAN HIGH SCHOOL ASHBY ROAD, TAMWORTH, STAFFORDSHIRE, B79 8AH. Thank you for you enquiry regarding the above site. This land lies outside the floodplain i.e. areas not shown as within Flood Zone 2 or 3 on the Flood Zones produced by the Environment Agency. Flood Zone 1 is the low probability risk zone as defined in Table D1 of PPS25. These are areas where there is a less than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) chance of flooding from rivers in any one year. Concerns relating to flood risk are therefore in respect of surface water drainage from the proposed development as the site covers an area greater than a hectare. A Flood Risk Assessment should therefore be undertaken to address surface water drainage issues. As a minimum the Environment Agency requires that any surface water scheme meets the following criteria:- 1. Any outflow from the site must be limited to the maximum allowable rate, i.e. greenfield equivalent (5 l/s/ha average) OR a betterment achieved of at least a 20% reduction in flows compared to the existing to cater for climate change. We confirm that the approach to restrict surface water run-off to Greenfield run-off rates is acceptable 2. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) should be considered as the first method of surface water disposal for the site, provided that ground conditions are appropriate.

  • Office Market Profile
    Office Market Profile Stuttgart | 1st quarter 2020 Published in April 2020 Stutt gart Development of Main Indicators Below-average start to the year At the beginning of the year, the Stuttgart off ice letting market saw its volume of take-up fall by 61% to 33,100 sqm compared to the corresponding period last year. This result is around 57% below the fi ve-year average of fi rst quarters, but the number of deals is similar to that recorded in the same period last year. This is because many large users have already secured space with long lease terms and is also due to the low supply of available larger premises. As a result, the < 500 sqm size category was the most popular, accounting around 41% of the take-up result. On the supply side, all of for around 70% of transactions. The largest transaction was the approx. 5,500 sqm of the off ice space completed in the concluded by the fl exible off ice space provider REGUS with fi rst quarter was already occupied and therefore no new almost 2,800 sqm in the peripheral Leinfelden-Echterdingen off ice space was released onto the market.

  • Halbtageswanderung Am 28. Januar 2018
    Halbtageswanderung am 28. Januar 2018 Vom Residenzschloss Hohenheim zum Waldheim in Sillenbuch Sechsunddreißig Wanderinnen und Wanderer des Schwäbischen Albvereins BB verließen am Sonntag um die Mittagszeit froh die U3 an der Endhaltestelle in Plieningen (Garbe/Hohenheim). Froh deshalb, weil an diesem Sonntag die wegen Sturmwarnung verschobene Wanderung wettermäßig keine Beeinträchtigung zu befürchten hatte. Nach wenigen Minuten betraten wir den 16,5 ha großen Exotischen Garten, einen der drei Hohenheimer Gärten und seit 1953 Landesarboretum. Am Startpunkt des historischen Rundwegs, dem wir im Wesentlichen gefolgt sind, informierte eine große Tafel über die gesamten historischen, die neuen Park- und Gartenanlagen, die angrenzenden Universitätsinstitute und das heute von der Uni Hohenheim genutzte Schloss Da im Januar keine Blütenpracht in den Gärten zu erwarten war und wir einen Besuch der Gewächshäuser nicht vorgesehen hatten, waren die Teilnehmer trotzdem erstaunt und begeistert von dem, was uns auf unserem winterlichen Rundgang das vielfältige Ensemble aus Sträuchern und Bäumen, grünen Rasenflächen mit eingestreuten kleinen Seen zu bieten hatte. Der Ursprung dieses Botanischen Gartens geht auf Herzog Carl Eugen von Württemberg zurück. Er hat das spätbarocke Hohenheimer Sommerresidenzschloss ab 1772 für sich und seine spätere zweite Ehefrau, Franziska von Hohenheim, erbauen lassen. Schon 1778 wurde mit der systematischen Bepflanzung des Exotischen Gartens begonnen. In der damaligen Zeit war dieser Botanische Garten der größte und vielfältigste in Deutschland. Heute stehen aus der Gründungszeit noch 18 stattliche Bäume. Besondere Beachtung und Bewunderung fanden bei unserer Wandergruppe die beim Spielhaus stehende mächtige Platane, sowie ein nicht weit davon entfernt stehender eindrucksvoller Amerikanischer Tulpenbaum, beide aus dem Pflanzjahr 1779 stammend. Aber auch andere altehrwürdige Bäume wie Mammut, Ahorn, Rotbuche, Linde und weitere, ebenso auch jüngere Exemplare stießen bei uns Wanderern – hier mehr Sonntags-Spaziergänger – auf Interesse.
