🎬 The BBC’s move into the 1929-built Typhoo Factory has moved a major step closer after @BhamCityCouncil approved the net-zero project.

‘The Tea Factory’ will become an 84K SF broadcast centre – what an exciting era for #Birmingham.

Amazing scheme to be part of on behalf of @stofordltd. And working with many many Turley services on this one too.

The former Typhoo Tea Factory is an incredible building. I've got no doubt this will become an iconic development in Birmingham.

☑️A long-term car park site on Upper Gough Street, empty since the mid-20th century, is free to be built on with 111 apartments & townhouses, complemented by two courtyards, a roof terrace & a pedestrianised public realm for the rapidly emerging area.👀

How to improve our rail services. More frequent, reliable services? Reduce costs for customers? Stop heavily subsidising private companies to operate them? Nah mate, let's stop pointless onboard announcements!

[Department for Transport @transportgovuk]

📢 '...put unwanted newspapers in the bin...'

This is one example of the announcements that we're getting rid of, making the passenger experience better and delivering on the Williams-Shapps #PlanForRail.

With the Metro extension, Mercian Studios, and HS2, Digbeth is becoming a remarkable part of Brum ✅

So exciting to see plans for 3,000 flats, workspaces, and retail using the River Rea as a centrepiece with cycle lanes and public spaces 🏠🚲🌳

[Ben Williams @bwilliamsturley]

Huge effort from the Turley team to get this to submission. A fantastic landscape-led scheme being brought forward by Dandara Living which will open up the River Rea to the city's residents for the first time in over 100 years.

[Turley @turleyplanning]

Two #Planning applications submitted for Warners Fields, the new mixed-use riverside neighbourhood by Dandara Living in #Birmingham. We’re providing a range of expert services for the project which will deliver around 3,000 new homes and new green spaces: https://t.co/GhsU6inhoF

No end in sight for large scale regeneration schemes coming forward in Birmingham. Never been a more interesting time to be a planner in the city. This one will be a bit special, opening up the River Rea.
