PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Cambrian Wharf
NEW PUBLIC CONSULTATION.
University College Birmingham (UCB) seeks to consolidate their student accommodation offer onto a single site at Cambrian Wharf.

1,207 state-of-the-art student accommodation would be delivered across two new build blocks: a ‘Canalside Block’ of 34 storeys and a ‘Courtyard Block’ at 14 storeys.
Both buildings would be framed by new public open space and active frontages, reinvigorating an underutilised section of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.
Cambrian Hall (below), an existing UCB student accommodation building constructed in the 1970s that no longer meets the aspirations of today's student market, is in line to be demolished.
Transformational change is ongoing in the area, with Paradise Birmingham and the 49-storey Octagon under construction, and the 46-storey Ora - next door - set to start soon.
A full planning application will be submitted in due course. In the meantime, the public consultation runs until Wednesday 14th June.
