Proposal 1.1. This application is for the creation of a 12 space car parking area to the rear of a small ‘One Stop’ supermarket located to the rear of 1261 Bristol Road South, Northfield. The car park would replace an existing overgrown garden area. The shop is open 0600 – 2200 hours daily. 1.2. The car park would be accessed from an existing rear access road off Bodenham Road. It would be constructed from porous materials to minimize rainfall run off into the existing storm drains. 1.3. The Applicant states there would be no deliveries taken within the proposed car park area, deliveries would remain as existing from the forecourt area. An existing external staircase would remain in situ (it was originally proposed for re-positioning, but is now amended to remain as existing). Link to Documents 2. Site & Surroundings 2.1. The application site relates to 1261-1263 Bristol Road South, Northfield. This is a two storey end terrace property located at the end of a row of ground floor retail units with flats above. The retail parade extends to the south west and includes other retail uses such as a print and stationary shop at 1265 and barbers at 1267 Bristol Road South. 2.2. The site is at the junction of Bristol Road South and Bodenham Road, with residential properties extending to the North West along Bodenham Road and north east along Bristol Road South. There are further residential properties opposite the site to the south east. Page 1 of 6 2.3. To the rear of the site is an overgrown garden area, with a pathway provided to a rear staircase which provides access to the first floor flat. Beyond the rear boundary and between the site and the neighbouring property of 14 Bodenham Road is a vehicular access road providing access to the rear of the shops and an area of land previously used as a car repair garage at the rear of 14-22 Bodenham Road. Location Map 3. Planning History 3.1. 11/11/2015 – 2015/07502 Creation of car parking and loading area to rear of property and new vehicular access. Withdrawn by agent. 4. Consultation/PP Responses 4.1. Transportation Development – No objection. 4.2. Regulatory Services – No objection. 4.3. Letters of notification have been sent to surrounding occupiers, local residents associations, Longbridge Ward Councillors and Planning Committee members from the Northfield Constituency. Five letters of objection, and one letter of support albeit with some concerns, have been received, as summarised below. 4.4. Cllr Ian Cruise objects to this application for the following reasons; • The application does not give a definitive description of the term 'loading'. • If the term 'loading' means large goods vehicles accessing the rear of the shops, the impact on Bodenham Rd traffic movement will be increased as the goods vehicles will have to reverse onto the loading area. This will impact on local residents in the immediate area. • The extra noise created by more vehicles will have an impact on the residents in the immediate area • There is provision for parking at front. 4.5. Four letters of objection have been received from nearby occupiers objecting to the proposal on the following grounds: • There are already problems with HGV vehicles on Bodenham Road parking and blocking existing driveways and destroying grass verges and walls. • The shop will get more passing trade and therefore require more deliveries and more HGV’s causing problems. • The car park will just bring more cars to the area and not relieve any congestion. • It will encourage more traffic onto Bodenham Road. • The safety of small children is put at risk. • There is no right of access for customers • The side access is in a dilapidated state, who will keep it maintained. • A car park would have a significant visual impact on the area. • No landscaping to soften the impact. • No need for the car park. • What arrangements are in place for refuse storage? • Increased risk of flooding. • Increase in noise early in the morning and late at night. • Little thought has been given to the relocation of the rear access steps. • The car park could be misused outside normal store opening times. Page 2 of 6 • No guarantee that the car park would be maintained. 4.6. One letter of comment from a surrounding occupier, who generally supports the application as the car park may stop customers and delivery lorries parking outside their house and blocking their drive. Although, some concerns remain that by creating the car park it will encourage more customers, thus continuing the nuisance parking outside their home. 5. Policy Context 5.1. The following national policy is relevant • The National Planning Policy Framework (2012) 5.2. The following local policies are relevant. • The Birmingham Unitary Development Plan (2005) • Draft Birmingham Development Plan 6. Planning Considerations 6.1. The proposal seeks to change the use of the unused rear yard of 1261 Bristol Road South to a car park for use by customers of the ‘One Stop’ Supermarket. Access would be from Bodenham Road, with a total of 12 spaces provided. Existing concrete-sectional walls around the site would be removed and the dwarf wall repaired. 6.2. The existing garden area is unused and overgrown and its loss would not be harmful to the wider streetscene. In addition the provision of extra car parking would help relieve on-street parking in the surrounding area and would also help prevent unauthorised access and parking by vehicles on the forecourt to the front. On this basis, in this setting I consider the proposal to be acceptable. 6.3. Transportation Development raise no objection to the proposal. I concur with this view. The proposals would make better provision for car parking and help reduce congestion for residents of Bodenham Road. In summary the proposed works are not expected to give rise to any adverse parking/highway safety impact. 6.4. The applicant confirms that the car park would not be used for deliveries and loading and unloading of goods and larger good vehicles would not have access to the car park. A condition to secure this position is therefore recommended. 6.5. The applicant has confirmed that the relevant notice has been served on all interested parties that have associated access rights and Certificate B has been signed. Whilst I note the objection regarding access rights, this is a civil matter. Notwithstanding this, this proposal would not prevent access to other properties with access rights. 6.6. The proposed works would not have an adverse visual impact and Regulatory Services raise no objection to the proposal. I concur with this view. The proposed development is not expected to impact the amenity of residential occupiers by reason of noise and disturbance, given the level of existing activity at the site. I note that there is currently a well-used access between the site and neighbouring property and this would remain in use. I note the concerns of residents regarding Page 3 of 6 the use of the area as car parking. Safeguarding conditions are recommended to ensure proper use of the site, including details of refuse areas. Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) 6.7. The proposed development does not attract a CIL contribution. 7. Conclusion 7.1. It is considered that the provision of a small car park would not have any detrimental impact on the visual or residential amenities of the surrounding area and occupiers and therefore it is recommended that the application be approved subject to the attached conditions. 8. Recommendation 8.1. Approve subject to conditions. 1 Requires the scheme to be in accordance with the listed approved plans 2 Requires the prior submission of details of refuse storage 3 Restricts the loading and unloading of goods from within the car park.

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. While demand has slowed down following the financial crisis, the office, industrial and retail sectors are expected to exceed the rest of the UK average until 2015: Source: GVA Regional Cities Seminar: Invest in Birmingham/IPD REFL Jan 2011 Speculative developments like the city centre Paradise Circus project are likely to be completed, offering new Grade-A office plots, along with retail space, hotel and entertainment facilities.

  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

    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.

  • Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021
    Birmingham City Council Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021 Flood Risk Management Annual Report Report of the Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure - March 2021 1. Introduction A scrutiny review of Flood Risk Management (FRM) and Response was published in June 2010. This set out 12 recommendations which were completed in 2010. In June 2010, The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 passed into law conveying new responsibilities and making Birmingham City Council a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). This report highlights progress in addressing these statutory responsibilities and provides an update on other flood risk management related issues. This report also provides an update into areas for improvement identified in the review of the May 2018 flooding conducted by members of the Sustainability & Transport O&S Committee on 19th July 2018. No major issues were raised at the submittal of the last Flood Risk Management Report in April 2020. 1.1 Climate Emergency On 11th June 2019, Birmingham City Council (BCC) announced a climate emergency and made the commitment to reduce the city’s carbon emissions and limit Birmingham’s contribution to climate change, with an aspiration to become net zero carbon by 2030. The impact of climate change will not just be felt afar, and the impact on Birmingham residents of increased extreme weather events, including flooding, droughts and heatwave is likely to be profound, with increasing risks to both life and property. Given our global footprint and the diversity of the city, the climate crisis will hit at the heart of families and communities within the city.
