The Birmingham Council House occupies a site between Chamberlain Square, Eden Place, Victoria Square and Chamberlain Square. The present building was designed by Yeoville Thomason and built between 1874 and 1879 on what was once Ann Street. 2.2. The building is three storeys plus basement made of stone with a tile roof. The site forms part of the Colmore Row and Environs Conservation Area designated in October 1971 and extended in March and then July 1985. 2.3. The building provides office accommodation for both employed council officers, Chief Executive and elected council members.

Planning Considerations 6.1. Local and national planning policy seeks to preserve and enhance heritage assets. Paragraph 131 of NPPF states that local authorities should take account of the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness. 6.2. Policy 3.25 of the UDP requires that special regard will be given to the desirability of securing the retention, restoration, maintenance and continued use of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. Any external or internal alterations or additions to a listed building should not adversely affect its architectural or historic character. 6.3. It is considered the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the Listed Building. The cameras are of a small scale and would be located in the corner of the rooms. 7. Conclusion 7.1. Subject to the DCLG raising no objections I consider the proposal would have an acceptable impact on the character and appearance of the Listed Building. 8. Recommendation 8.1. That authority be given to refer Application No 2013/01613/PA to the Department for Communities and Local Government for their determination in accordance with Regulation 13 of the Town and Country Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Regulations 1992 and that they be advised that the Local Planning Authority would be minded to approve the application subject to the following conditions: 1 Requires the scheme to be in accordance with the listed approved plans 2 Limits the approval to 3 years (conservation/listed buildings consent) Reason for Approval 1 Birmingham City Council grants Listed Building Consent subject to the condition(s) listed below (if appropriate).

Do not take any left exit. Go over 1 flyover and through just 1 Queensway tunnel (sign posted ‘Bromsgrove and Queen Elizabeth Hospital’). Leave this tunnel indicating left but stay in the right hand lane of the slip road. UCE Birmingham Conservatoire is located on the Paradise Circus island. Follow directions below for parking and/or loading & unloading. Parking Car parking at the Conservatoire is very limited and we regret we cannot offer parking spaces to visitors. However, there are several NCP car parks located close by, including two located on Cambridge Street. To access these car parks, at the Paradise Circus island, immediately after you pass the exit for the A456 (Broad Street), move into the left lane and take the first left into Cambridge Street. Loading & Unloading To access the Conservatoire’s car park (for loading and unloading only), pass under the bridge and turn right as if to access the Copthorne Hotel, and then right again into the underground road. Follow the road around to the left to gain access to the Conservatoire’s car park, which is at the end of the road. A goods lift is available. From M5 South-West Leave the M5 at Junction 3 and travel towards Birmingham City Centre along the A456 (Hagley Road) for 5 miles to the Five Ways island. This is easily distinguishable as it is surrounded by large office blocks and a Tesco store.
