Harvest Partnership, a jv between Land Securities and Sainsbury’s, has submitted plans for its redevelopment of the former Birmingham Battery site in Selly Oak as a major mixed-use scheme.
The project proposes transforming the 32-acre brownfield site into a 1m sq ft development featuring a 100,000 sq ft Sainsbury’s, some 324,000 sq ft of shops, 113,000 sq ft of offices, 200,000 sq ft of student housing, and 175,000 sq ft of hotels and leisure.
Neil Carron, project director at LandSec, said: “This is a unique scheme that will not only transform Selly Oak into a vibrant retail and leisure destination, but will also create 3,000 much-needed jobs for local people.
“We have worked hard to ensure that the proposals are realistic and deliverable, and are confident that the scheme will make a positive difference and result in something to be proud of.”
Turley Associates is advising on planning.
