Birmingham Core Strategy Final Draft Appendix 1 Birmingham Core Strategy 28 October 2010 Final Draft Foreword I am very pleased to be endorsing this emerging Core Strategy. It will play a key role in helping to shape the future direction of this great city. Birmingham is a diverse, dynamic and forward thinking city of over a million people. It is the regional capital of the Midlands and is strategically located at the heart of the United Kingdom. The city has seen constant and progressive change throughout its history, embracing new cultures and the challenges of shifting global economies and more recently climate change. Over recent years there has been a transformation of the city centre, including the rebuilding of the Bullring, development of concert/conferencing and sporting facilities and the creation of attractive public squares and spaces all to the highest international standards. The city will continue to adapt to and embrace change, in order to enhance its position as a key economic and cultural centre regionally, nationally and internationally. Further expansion will see development of a state of the art ‘Library for Birmingham' the new central library, the redevelopment of New Street railway station and expansion of Birmingham International Airport. The draft policies set out in this Core Strategy have been produced after initial extensive consultation on an 'Issues and Options' report and reflect the city’s aspirations for its growth, economic development and approach for tackling the key issues for the next 20 years. Many of these issues - such as the need to create more affordable housing and sustainable employment and continue tackling climate change - will be challenging and will require innovative solutions within increasingly limited resources. All future development and investment in Birmingham will be considered against the approach and policies in the Core Strategy. Once finalised it will be the principal strategic planning policy document within The Birmingham Plan, the city’s Local Development Framework. It will provide the statutory foundation for other initiatives such as the Big City Plan – the City Centre Masterplan. The Core Strategy also outlines and seeks to assist the City Council to meet its vision and key themes and objectives as set out in the City Council’s Sustainable Community Strategy. The City Council is seeking your views on this document. Your views are important and all responses will be very carefully considered. They will help us finalise the Core Strategy and I would urge everyone to grasp this opportunity to comment and help shape Birmingham’s future growth and prosperity.

Introduction and Context The Role and Purpose of the Core Strategy 1.1 The purpose of the Core Strategy is to set out a clear spatial framework for the growth of Birmingham up to 2026. As such the strategy will set out how much new housing should be provided in the city, and it will identify the general locations for the construction of new housing and flats. It will also identify the key locations for employment provision, and for other key activities, such as shopping, waste management, leisure and sport, education and health in order to support the city’s growing population. The strategy will also consider how transport and other infrastructure can be provided to Fenable this new development to take place in a sustainable way. 1.2 In promoting this agenda for growth, the strategy will need to reflect Birmingham’s ambitious targets for reducing CO2 emissions and to contribute to the Council’s wider agenda of improving the quality of life and thereby the health of all Birmingham residents. 1.3 There is a statutory requirement for the City Council to prepare a Core Strategy – and once the strategy is adopted it will form the central part of the city’s Development Plan. Amongst other things this means that it will be the starting point for decisions on all major new development proposals in the city. 1.4 The preparation of core strategies must take place in line with a statutory process. Initial consultation on the scope of the Core Strategy took place in early 2007, and the first formal stage in the process was consultation on Issues and Options in autumn 2008. The key messages from these consultations are summarised below. 1.5 This Emerging Core Strategy document has also been produced for consultation purposes – but in terms of its scope, structure and content it reflects what the Council currently considers should be included in the final Strategy. In effect it is a draft version of that final Strategy. 1.6 The Council welcomes comments on this draft. 1.7 The next stage in the process will be for the Council to consider the reaction to this draft and to modify the strategy as necessary in the light of the comments received. A revised version of the strategy will then be produced. There will be an opportunity for formal comments to be made on this version of the strategy, and then it will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. Following this the ‘soundness’ of the strategy will be examined by an independent inspector, who will consider all the comments received in making his or her recommendations. These recommendations will be binding on the City Council. The Core Strategy and the Big City Plan 1.8 The Core Strategy will provide a city-wide framework for change in Birmingham.

  • A History of Castle Vale
    A HISTORY OF CASTLE VALE By Geoff Bateson INTRODUCTION Castle Vale is a modern housing area on the north-eastern edge of Birmingham. It is unique in many ways and has gone through distinct sets of changes. The things that most people noticed on their first visit to the area, when it was first built as a housing estate, was the flat and open landscape and the very distinct boundaries which seemed to almost cut Castle Vale off from the rest of the city to make a little island of people. These features have recently been changed, and will continue to change into the future, but each change is dictated by past developments. To understand what an area is like now, it is important to understand its history. The history of the Castle Vale area can be traced backwards, layer by layer and then built up again as a sequential record of those things that made the area what it was at each stage of its development. This booklet follows the changing fortunes of the small area of land known as Castle Vale from its beginnings as a swampy forest, through the feudal times of battling barons, through the growing industrialisation of Birmingham to the First World War, on through its life as an airfield, finally to the construction of the modern housing estate and the very recent improvements to that area. From time to time little excursions will be taken into the wider history of the region but only in order to set the very local events within their wider setting and make them even more interesting than they already are.
