Aventicum, alongside their deliver partners McLaren, has submitted plans to redevelop the site of the former Queens Hospital on Bath Row in Birmingham city centre. The proposals create a new canal side community of 728 new purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) units, 189 Build to Rent properties, and the conversion of the site’s western listed building into a publicly accessible amenity space.
After considering feedback, the following aspects of the proposals were agreed:
This application is pending determination by Birmingham City Council and is available to view here by searching the planning reference 2023/02925/PA.
The redevelopment of Queens Hospital Close will create a vibrant canalside neighbourhood, situated nearby core transport links and well-served by new amenity spaces
The listed buildings be retained, renewing these two heritage assets as a focal point of the new community.
By introducing new reidential use to Queens Hospital Close, Birmingham will more efficently meet its housing need in a sustainable location.
