“The submission of this important application marks the culmination of detailed consultations with Birmingham City Council Planning Department. During this time, the scheme has evolved successfully through an inclusive, meaningful and collaborative process into the current impressive 1,023 bedroom proposal. We are confident this building will provide a dramatic, bold and impressive new addition to the Birmingham skyline and a welcome boost in purpose built, high quality student accommodation, helping to address the current shortfall the city is experiencing and encouraging further growth in the excellent Universities nearby.”
