APPROVED: Thumbs up for Clyde Street - 481 Homes

Plans for 481 homes on Clyde Street, Digbeth, have finally been approved, weeks after plans were deferred for more information regarding aviation safety and affordable housing

Clarion Housing Group, the UK’s largest affordable housing provider, through their subsidiary Latimer, now has consent to introduce 481 homes across two interlinked buildings of 10 and 34 storeys (107.8m) on the former Safestore plot.

Plans also include five commercial units on High Street, a new public realm (again on High Street), and a whopping 55% affordable housing.

This will be achieved via a Homes England grant, with 141 earmarked for social rent and 127 for shared ownership.

In addition, residents will benefit from a 31st-floor roof terrace, a landscaped woodland courtyard, workspaces, a parcel room, and 277 cycle spaces.

Some conditions arising from approval include the finalising of a S106 legal agreement, with Birmingham Airport also recommending a construction management strategy, a bird hazard management plan, a permanent obstacle lighting scheme, and a CAA crane notification condition.

These pre-commencement conditions, and more, will need to be approved before the project gets underway.

Clarion has already transacted on a portion of the land and is committed to expanding its current portfolio of over 2,500 affordable homes in the city.

Latimer, a subsidiary of Clarion Housing Group, wants to deliver 481 new homes – 168 one, 310 two & 3 three-beds – five commercial units (6,800K SF), and a whopping 55% affordable housing.

These plans will see the redevelopment of the former Safestore industrial facility and surrounding hard-standing car parking.

Two interlinked new builds of ten and 34 storeys are proposed, linked via a single-storey pavilion structure.

Coming via a Homes England (H.E) grant once approval has been secured – H.E is a strategic partner for Clarion – 55% affordability will be introduced to the site, accommodating 141 for Social Rent & 127 for Shared Ownership.

In addition to the five commercial units, residents will benefit from a 31st-floor roof terrace, a heavily landscaped woodland courtyard, workspaces, a parcel room, 277 bicycle spaces, and a new High Street public realm – trees, planters and paving.

Clarion has already transacted on a portion of the land and is committed to expanding its current portfolio of over 2,500 affordable homes in the City..
