The location of the area at the gateway to the City Centre offers real opportunities. The regeneration of Bordesley Park will complement proposals for long term transformational change already set out in the Big City Plan and nearly £2 billion of public sector investment including Birmingham City Centre Enterprise Zone, Birmingham Gateway New Street Station, Birmingham Curzon Masterplan for Growth and the development of Paradise Circus. Just as importantly, there is the potential for the whole of East Birmingham, including the AAP area, to benefi t from the investment and growth associated with HS2. As well as development at Curzon Street Station and the High Speed Rail College in the City Centre, growth at UK Central including the proposed Interchange Station and expansion of the airport will be increasingly accessible thanks to a package of infrastructure improvements including Metro. The AAP, alongside the East Birmingham Prospectus for Growth, will therefore provide the catalyst for the transformation of the area, including parts of Washwood Heath, Bordesley Green, Bordesley Village and Small Heath, over the next 13 years, to 2031. I believe that it will create the right conditions to bring forward major development opportunities which will contribute to the city’s growth, and maximise the benefi ts of wider growth for the residents and businesses of the area. The plan will also facilitate change and deliver benefi ts at the neighbourhood level. The Bordesley Park area is home to a young, diverse and vibrant community, who should benefi t from the range of new employment and residential opportunities the AAP can deliver. This Plan has been produced in partnership with you – local residents, businesses, and the development community – to ensure that it meets your needs and aspirations. We will continue to work with you all in bringing forward the proposals set out in the Plan and delivering a positive future for the Bordesley Park area. Councillor Ian Ward Leader Birmingham City Council foreword / bordesley park area action plan 6 Introduction The Bordesley Park Area Action Plan (AAP) covers an area of around 580 hectares to the immediate east of the City Centre, including parts of Washwood Heath, Bordesley Green, Bordesley Village and Small Heath.

    Committee Date: 13/06/2013 Application Number: 2013/02399/PA Accepted: 25/04/2013 Application Type: Telecommunications Full PA Target Date: 20/06/2013 Ward: Washwood Heath Jami-a-Masjid, Naseby Road, Alum Rock, Birmingham, B8 3HE Retrospective application for the installation of 2.6 metre high rooftop antenna, 300 mm transmission dish and installation of GRP shroud to conceal lower portion of existing antenna and dish attached to chimney cap. Applicant: Everything Everywhere UK Ltd & H3G UK Ltd c/o Agent Agent: WHP Ponderosa, Scotland Lane, Horsforth, Leeds, LS18 5SI Recommendation Approve Subject To Conditions 1. Proposal 1.1. Planning permission is sought to retain the existing roof-top telecommunications equipment that is attached to the existing chimney breast which was installed in 2007-2008. Planning permission is also sought to provide a GRP shroud in order to conceal the transmission dish and lower portion of the antenna from view. As part of the proposed remedial works, the existing cable tray/conduit and external cabling would be re-routed internally. 1.2. The proposed shroud would be no higher than the existing chimney. The antenna would project around 2.6m above the shroud. The proposed shroud would be made from GRP and would have an external finish that would have a brick appearance. 1.3. The proposal outlines that the existing 300mm transmission dish would also be replaced with a modern 300mm transmission dish relocated to the top of the chimney cap. 1.4. Planning permission is required for the works because they are not classed as permitted development under Part 24 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment)(England) Order 2001, due to the fact that they are to be installed on a Grade II Listed Building.

  • Bus Rationalisation Appendix 1
    Technical note Project: Birmingham Bus Stop To: Matthew Till / Danny Gouveia Consolidation Subject: 8A / 8C Draft Report From: Andy Clark / Anna Little / Tim Colles Date: 15th June 2017 cc: Adrian Taylor 1. Introduction Atkins has been commissioned by National Express West Midlands to undertake a study investigating the scope for bus stops on several routes in Birmingham to be rationalised. This is in response to growing concern from National Express West Midlands and Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) regarding increasingly long and unreliable bus journeys in the West Midlands. National Express West Midlands is part of the West Midlands Bus Alliance, consisting of representatives from the region’s bus operators, the West Midlands Combined Authority, council highways and transportation departments, Local Enterprise Partnerships, the Safer Travel Partnership, councillors and Transport Focus. The Alliance Board Members are responsible for identifying what the region’s buses need to deliver and then putting policies and funding streams in place for this to be achieved. In March 2016, the board identified seven key actions which it will work together to deliver by 2020, as outlined in Figure 1. Figure 1. Key Targets for West Midlands Bus Alliance Ticketing Air Quality Open Data Identity Network Development Punctuality Safety and Security Plans The potential impacts on these key targets are considered later in this technical note, with specific focus on punctuality (aiming to reduce delay minutes). This technical note sets out the results from Atkins’ analysis of Routes 8A and 8C. The results of the assessments of other routes are outlined in subsequent technical notes. The route is circular, with 8A denoting buses traversing the route in the anti-clockwise direction and 8C denoting buses in the clockwise direction.

  • Project Champion Review
    Project Champion Review Project Champion Review An independent review of the commissioning, direction, control and oversight of Project Champion; including the information given to, and the involvement of, the community in this project from the initiation of the scheme up to 4 July 2010. The Purpose of this review is to identify areas for organisational learning to ensure that West Midlands Police is more effective in protecting communities and securing their trust and confidence. Sara Thornton QPM Chief Constable 30 September 2010 Not Protectively Marked Foreword There is nothing more important to policing than its legitimacy in the eyes of the public. The concerns of the community need to be a central pre- occupation of policing and transparency needs to be a constant consideration. In the course of this review I have met members of the community and have read the press reports and it is clear that many people feel that their civil liberties have been disregarded. As a consequence, the trust and confidence that they have in the police has been significantly undermined. There is a real opportunity to learn from Project Champion about the damage that can be done to police legitimacy when the police are seen to be acting in a way which prizes expediency over legitimacy. Importantly these lessons need to be learned from a counter terrorism project where the need to maintain public support is even more acute. The review has been completed in a relatively short period of time because of the need to take immediate action to restore confidence. However, this has necessarily limited the extent of my enquiries but hopefully not my conclusions.
