Edgbaston Mill turns wheel
In my post on the redevelopment of the cricket ground in November 2008 I referred to the neighbouring Hemisphere Apartment scheme and the wider Edgbaston Mill development, Bowled out by regeneration.
A planning application, No 2010/04995/PA, has been submitted for the third phase, updating and bringing together previously permitted phases. The application is listed as :Mixed use commercial block comprising 200 bed hotel and ancillary restaurants and meeting rooms, health and fitness facility, cafe, restaurant and ancillary roads, service yard, car park and landscaping.
The following statement from the Design and Access Statement summarises the history to this new application.
The site, as shown above sits adjacent to the already complete Hemisphere apartments, and near to the recently redeveloped MAC and the redeveloped stands of Edgabston Cricket Ground.
Elevation images from the planning application and the site plan.
The revised application follows the recent approval of supermarket Aldi's foodstore which will front Edgbaston Road adjacent to the Police Training centre. The 1,300 m2 store was approved despite some local opposition to it's appearance and 'downmarket' image.
