Camp Hill Gardens Approved; First Major Digbeth Development Set to Kick Off?
Today is a significant day for Camp Hill Gardens, 193 Camp Hill, as amended plans were unanimously approved today (18 August).
The major placemaking development could, at long last, become the catalyst for Digbeth and the wider area.

Setting the ball rolling for the wider area, Camp Hill Gardens will see six new buildings ranging from three to 26 storeys, creating a brand new community of 550 build-to-rent (BTR) apartments and townhouses.
Incorporating wellbeing, innovation, and sustainability, the placemaking project from Goodstone Living, the UK BTR arm of Macquarie Asset Management, will be set around a one-acre landscaped garden, the largest private garden in the city.
A fine selection of studios, one- and three-bedroom apartments, and four-bedroom townhouses, will be provided, in addition to 22,000K SF of dedicated commercial spaces that will further nurture Digbeth's live-work-play ethos.
This will contain areas for restaurants, cafés, boutiques, start-ups and independent retail; local companies will also benefit from 50% rental discounts.
The site, once occupied by Sulzer before they relocated to Birmingham Business Park, has already been demolished and works are ongoing to make the site construction ready, which is anticipated to begin soon now that permission has been granted.
