Developer The Pickstock Group has unveiled plans for the run-down Bill House site on Soho Hill in Birmingham where derelict buildings have been hit by a series of fires and anti-social behaviour.

The development proposals follow early stakeholder engagement, supporting surveys,  reports and planning appraisals to inform the transformation of the derelict site into a mixed-use community, helping to reinvigorate the wider area.

Plans contain 115 new houses and apartments alongside an 80-bed care home.

Liam Davies, Development Director for The Pickstock  Group said: “The scheme offers a dynamic approach to different housing typologies, offering  affordable housing, open market sale and lease options, alongside a supporting care provision offer.”

The Pickstock Group has collaborated with a multi professional consultant team to  develop plans.

Adam McPartland, Managing Director at Glancy Nichol Architects said:“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 create a sense of place that feels authentic, uplifting and  contributing to the wider regeneration and delivery aspirations for the area”.

Jacob Bonehill, Director – Planning, RPS Group, said: “These  proposals offer an opportunity to deliver much needed new homes and employment  opportunities beyond the city centre. While the continued renaissance of the city core  should be celebrated, for far too long the benefits of growth have been focused within the  Inner Ring Road.

“This is precisely why the vision set out in the Central Birmingham  Framework 2045 rightly looks to support developments like this in locations such as Soho  Hill.”
