PROPOSALS
Following a major programme of consultation with Birmingham’s communities in 2022, a planning application was submitted to Birmingham City Council in December 2022.
Following redesign of certain aspects of the scheme, an addendum to the existing application was submitted in January 2024 and public consultation on the updated plans concluded in November 2023.
The application was approved by Birmingham City Council Planning Committee in June 2024.
Smithfield is a large and complex development being delivered through a Lendlease and BCC partnership, which will be designed and built in multiple phases.
The first planning application includes outline proposals for the whole site and detailed proposals for the first phase of development. You can view the planning application below.
