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.
