Mixed-use scheme is part of developer’s move away from retail

Glenn Howells has been given outline planning permission for a 7.5-acre mixed-use masterplan in Birmingham city centre that will feature 1,300 homes.

Given the go-ahead by Birmingham city council, it is part of Hammerson’s aim to shift from retail to residential schemes.
