Bill House, Soho HillBirmingham

A Pre-Planning Application has been submitted to Birmingham City Council, outlining exciting regeneration plans for the Bill House site on Soho Road, Handsworth.

This proposal follows early stakeholder engagement, numerous supporting surveys and planning use appraisals to inform the transformation of this derelict site into a vibrant, mixed-use community helping to reinvigorate the wider area.

The Bill House site has been affected by a series of large-scale blazes in recent years resulting in the buildings becoming derelict and unsuitable for occupation attracting anti-social behaviour.

This will be a comprehensive redevelopment of a brownfield site that is sensitive to the local characteristics, providing multi generation living aligned with the needs of the local community.

The scheme will provide a dynamic approach to different housing typologies, offering affordable housing, open market sale and lease options alongside a supporting care provision offer. The new scheme will create a sense of place that feels authentic, uplifting and contributing to the wider regeneration and delivery aspirations for the area.

The regeneration of the new Bill House development will present a much-improved streetscape, creating safer spaces offering a long-term positive impact for residents and visitors alike.
