Many studies of the post-war reconstruction of British towns and cities have displayed a particular fascination with nationally-important planners and architects and there have been some recent significant oral accounts that have sought to chart the influence of prominent architects in shaping post-Second World War urban environments. Drawing specifically on recently-collected oral history narratives from James Roberts and John Madin, two of the most important locally-trained post-war architects to shape the reconstruction of Birmingham (UK), this paper explores the extent to which their artistic visions for the heart of Britain’s second city were tempered during the design and development process. -

5-Year Land Supply 2016-21 January 2017
5-Year Land Supply 2016-21 January 2017 5-Year Land Supply 2016-21 Summary The City has 5.7 years supply. This is derived from a 5-Year requirement of 14,228 dwellings (including a 5% buffer) and a supply of 16,301 dwellings. 1. Introduction Paragraph 47 of the NPPF requires local authorities to: “…identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirements. To be considered deliverable, sites should be available now, offer a suitable location for development now, and be achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years and in particular that development of the site is viable.” This paper sets out how the City’s 5-Year supply has been determined. 2. Establishing the 5-Year Housing Requirement 2016-21 2.1 The BDP Housing Requirement 2011-31 The BDP, adopted in January 2017, is planning for increased levels of housing provision in challenging circumstances. Over recent years the difficult economic conditions have had a major impact on the house building industry which resulted in significant reductions in both housing starts and completions. At the same time household projections indicate that a much increased level of housing provision is required. For the plan to be deliverable it is necessary to acknowledge that it is unrealistic to expect a large increase in housing delivery right away. It will take time for the measures being put in place to facilitate increased housing delivery (such as the Langley SUE) to start delivering housing. -
