Proposal 1.1. Consent is sought to demolish the existing Lidl food store (1100sq.m) and adjoining industrial units (400sq.m) on Homer Street and to erect a new enlarged food store (2179sq.m), together with car parking and landscaping works (site area – 6526sq.m). 1.2. The existing store has a predominantly blank frontage to Moseley Road. The majority of the car parking (88 spaces) is located behind the store. It is single storey and located close to the boundary with premises fronting Cromer Road. 1.3. The proposed new store would front Moseley Road. The proposed store would be around 3m from the rear of properties fronting Cromer Road. The proposed service yard / deliver area would be located at the rear of the store.

The proposed new store would be single storey, with an aluminium raised seam clad pitched roof. The Moseley Road frontage, and a portion of the return elevation to the car park, would comprise predominantly full-height glazing. Towards the southern end of the frontage, adjoining 577 Moseley Road, a red brick framed rendered panel (with fire exit door) would be provided. Above the glazing / rendered panel, flat metal cladding panels would form a roughly triangular wedge to Moseley Road. Around 1/3 of the cladding, above the entrance area, would project forward by around 1m providing an entrance canopy feature. The reminder of the store would comprise red brick framed rendered panels with flat metal cladding above. On the roof, 3 air intake / ventilation flues (approx.1m high) are indicated.

The existing trees on the site (protected by T.P.O. 837), located within the north-west corner, would be unaffected by the proposals. In front of the proposed store, along the Moseley Road frontage, stainless steel bollards would be provided to protect the glazed areas. 1.6. The existing store employs 15 full-time and 10 part-time staff. The proposed new store would employ 16 full-time and 35 part-time staff. 1.7. The proposed opening hours would be 0800-2200 hrs Monday to Saturday and 1100-1700 hrs on Sundays (as existing). 1.8. The applicant is proposing to make a financial contribution of £50,000 towards securing environmental improvements and / or town centre management and / or business development within Balsall Heath. In addition, the applicant proposes that a commitment to employment of local people be secured as part of the section 106 agreement. 1.9. The following documents have been submitted in support of the proposals: • Design & Access Statement • Transport Statement • T.P.O Report • Loss of Industrial Land Report Location Plan Existing Elevations Existing Site Plan Proposed Site Plan Proposed Floor Plan Proposed Elevations Sheet 1 Proposed Elevations Sheet 2 Proposed Streetscene 2. Site & Surroundings 2.1. The application premises are located on the west side of Moseley Road, between Homer Street and Cromer Road. The existing food store and car park are located within the Primary Shopping Area of Balsall Heath Neighbourhood Centre as defined by the Shopping and Local Centres SPD (2012). 2.2. The application site comprises Lidl food store and a number of industrial premises. The existing food store is predominantly red / buff brick construction with clay tiles. The industrial premises are corrugated iron / red brick construction with grey Page 2 of 14 corrugated iron roofs. The industrial premises are currently vacant, but were previously predominantly used for car storage / breakage / parts sales. 2.3. To the north, corner of Moseley Road / Homer Street is a Kwik-Fit garage. On the opposite side of Homer Street are 2/2.5-storey terraced dwellings. Adjoining to the south is a retail shop (577 Moseley Road), a dental surgery / health clinic (1-2 Comer Road) and 2.5-storey terraced dwellings. To the east, opposite side of Moseley Road, is a retail precinct with flats above. To the west are modern 2-storey semi-detached dwellings fronting Nursery Avenue and outdoor play space linked to Ark Tindal Primary Academy accessed from Tindal Street. 2.4. The surrounding area is mixed in terms of uses. Location Map Street View 3. Planning History 3.1. 08.03.2000 - 1999/02796/PA - Redevelopment of site to form A1 food retail unit with associated car parking and service area – Approved subject to Conditions. 3.2. 10.05.2000 - 2000/01584/PA - 2 internally illuminated box signs to side and front elevations – Approved and Display of 7m high flag pole at site entrance – Refused. 3.3. 10.07.2000 - 2000/02556/PA - Display of flag pole sign – Approved Temporary. 3.4. 07.12.2000 - 2000/02220/PA - Variation of condition C9 attached to application No. C/02796/99/FUL to allow collection and delivery of goods on Sundays - Approved Temporary. 3.5. 18.01.2002 - Variation of Condition C9, attached to application No. C/02796/99/FUL, to allow deliveries and collections of goods on Sundays or Bank Holidays – Approved subject to Conditions. 4. Consultation/PP Responses 4.1. Local Councillors, Roger Godsiff M.P, Resident Associations and local occupiers notified. Site and press notices posted. 4.2. 4 letters of comment (including 1 from Councillor Victoria Quinn and 1 from The Moseley Society) and 1 letter of support from a local occupier received. 4.3. The Moseley Society – Do not object in principle, although concerned that traffic flows / congestion would be increased. The road outside the Lidl store is already heavily congested, with car traffic reduced to a single lane due to bus lanes in either direction. There is a busy junction with traffic lights and a pedestrian crossing close- by. Consultation should take place with the Highway Department to assess the impact of the new, larger store on traffic patterns, and to suggest possible mitigation measures. 4.4. Councillor Victoria Quinn – raises an issue relating to an area of land to the rear of the application site. The land is currently City Council owned and is not part of this application. It adjoins Ark Tindal School, which has a gate which leads to this area. The land did not fall within the red-line of the Academy Transfer Order for the school Page 3 of 14 which was approved by Cabinet in 2011 / 2012. The school are concerned to establish what will happen to this area. A number of solutions are put forward: • Disposal of the land to Lidl as part of their development site; to provide additional parking and mitigating against potential anti-social behaviour and dumping. • Disposal of the land to the school; if they are able to acquire it. • Combined ownership / access rights; to create a cycle-hub that could be co- run by the school and Lidl, incorporating cycle storage, potential cycle hire and potential for a “safe cycle lane” infrastructural requirement for the Moseley Road. 4.5. Councillor Victoria Quinn also considers that any possible S106 levy could be linked to transportation (road safety) imperatives. In addition, any S106 resource emanating from this development would of course assist a number of plans for the area, many of which are part of the Draft Balsall Heath Neighbourhood Plan (BHNP). One of the main uses however is likely to be the development of health and wellbeing infrastructure within the area, where there are existing well developed plans established to develop a health and wellbeing corridor within the immediate vicinity in conjunction with Joseph Chamberlain College, the city health and fitness centre on this site and the surrounding green open spaces. 4.6. Comments sent on behalf of the managing agents for 2020 Housing Co-operative (2020 HC) who own 8 family houses in Nursery Avenue: o Light pollution - the potential impact of light pollution on their tenants should be given due weight. o Security and amenity - the proposed boundary fence should be sufficiently robust and high, while not interfering visually or blocking light to tenants. o Security – a barrier across the entrance should be provided. In the past tenants of Nursery Avenue have been disturbed by cars/motor bikes entering the car park when the store is closed. This issue was dealt with and Lidl have ensured that the barrier is secured at night. It is requested that this remains and that suitable precautions would be in place for the new site. o Delivery times - Lidl should consider the impact of deliveries on the tenants of Nursery Road. o General point - Surprised to find that the application and supporting docs do not refer to residential properties in Nursery Avenue, even though their short back gardens border the site.

  • Diving In: a Future for Moseley Road Baths
    Diving in: a future for Moseley Road Baths The expert view ‘Nowadays most of us take for granted the facility to wash daily in hot water, to dress in clean laundered clothes, and when we choose to swim, to do so in a hygienic, safe environment (one reason why swimming is now the nation's second most popular form of recreation, after walking). Opened in 1907, Moseley Road Baths is a glowing reminder of how we attained these basic privileges. Courtesy of progressive civic leaders and innovative engineers and architects – not for nothing did the Victorians regard themselves as the new Romans – Britain led the newly industrialised world in terms of public baths provision. In today’s England only around 40 such examples from that era survive, and the number diminishes every year. Of those that do still operate, most have lost many of their original features. Moseley Road Baths, by contrast – the only pre-war public baths that is listed Grade II* and remains in use for swimming – is an extraordinary survivor. Both its opulent exterior and interior are almost completely intact. Its Gala Pool, although closed since 2003, remains one the grandest of its kind ever seen. Also, its slipper baths sections for men and women are by far the largest and best preserved in Britain. Until the 1960s the majority of households didn't have their own baths, so facilities such as these played a key role in people’s weekly routines (my mother’s included). In 1907 it was Birmingham rate payers who footed the bill for this municipal masterpiece.
