A pre-planning application has been submitted to Birmingham City Council for the £48.5m redevelopment of the Bill House site on Soho Hill in Handsworth.

The 2.5-acre site, which has been vacant for several years following a series of fires, will see a mixed-use development including 115 homes and flats alongside an 80-bed care home. The scheme is led by developer Pickstock Group, with designs by Glancy Nichol Architects and planning consultancy from RPS.

Pickstock development director Liam Davies said the plans sought to take “a dynamic approach to different housing typologies, offering affordable housing, open market sale and lease options, alongside a supporting care provision offer”.
