Mixed use development in Moseley motors out Bristol Street Motors
The end of November saw a planning application submitted for the former Bristol Street Motors, Meteor Buildings, on St. Marys Row in Moseley.
The site has been under discussion with Birmingham City Council since 2003 with an aim of redeveloping it. Two previous applications had been recieved prior to this development, again for mixed use development of a food store and 24 apartments. Those proposals were refused on the grounds of design and appearence and the impact on the character of the area and conservation area together with the impact on the neighbours environment together with highways.
The proposal is for:
1) The demolition of existing motor dealership buildings, including showroom, workshops and offices;
2) The erection of a retail 'convenience' foodstore (to be operated by Tesco) at ground floor, with a medical centre/surgery on the second floor and 19 no. sheltered residential apartments;
3) 103 car parking spaces a bicycle store and 3 ranks
of bicycle hoops, servicing, access and landscaping.
The medical surgery proposal has been developed particularly in light of the need's of Wake Green Surgery which has been trying to identiy a suitable site for new premises.
The following images are from the planning application.

Comments
Cars and large delivery vehicles entering the only car park entrance in Oxford Rd would vastly exacerbate existing traffic problems at peak times.
School Rd would become the main route for entry from the Kings Heath end of the city.
