The proposed skyscraper over a Grade-II listed former hospital building in Birmingham has been decried as “preposterous”<\/h2>\n

Planning consultancy Marron’s<\/a> proposal to build a skyscraper containing 300 flats over the Georgian building was unaminously rejected at a planning committee meeting.<\/p>\n

The proposal inclused a 133.5 glass tower block, a cafe and roof terrace. Of the 300 flats- mostly one-bedroom-\u00a0 roughly 60 would have been affordable.<\/p>\n

Marrons have now gone back to the drawing board, with a spokesperson confirming that \u201cThe committee members suggested that the design needs a \u2018refresh\u2019 and we will be engaging with the council towards other options for regenerating the site.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marrons will work with the council to find a solution to the challenges faced by redeveloping the former hospital building.<\/p>\n

“I just don\u2019t think this is it”<\/h3>\n

Conservative councillor Gareth Moore said at the meeting which condemned the previous design: \u201cThis is utterly bonkers. The idea you can stick a 42-storey tower block over a Georgian mansion is ridiculous[…]The idea it was even dreamt up is quite frankly ludicrous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Labour councillor Lee Marsham suggested that developers had \u201cjust plonked something on top of it and hoped that it works\u201d, adding: \u201cI think the broad aims of regeneration of that site is one we should be doing, I just don\u2019t think this is it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even those who dismissed heritage concerns were opposed to the skyscraper over the Georgian building plans’ lack of appropriate housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t place a lot of weight on preserving the past. I don\u2019t mind that this former hospital, former nightclub has been overshadowed by a tall building,\u201d said lead officer and area planning manager Nick Jackson.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy concern is about the future and the people who want to live there and development that is 70% single bedroom flats is anathema to me. It doesn\u2019t meet council planning standards at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marrons argued that this way of regenerating heritage sites has precedent<\/h3>\n

Acting on behalf of HJB Investments, Marron’s planning director Charlotte El Hakiem, said the proposal was an \u201cdistinctive and innovative approach, which allows the repurposing of the listed building<\/a>, bringing it back in public use whilst creating a landmark containing much-needed homes and community space\u201d.<\/p>\n

The developers providied examples of similar plans internationally, such as Fitzpatrick & Partners\u2019 88 Walker Street hotel and office development in North Sydney, which is 50 storeys tall and situated above the listed former North Sydney 1895 fire station.<\/p>\n

80 Broad Street has a colourful history as a residence, hospital and nightclub<\/h3>\n

Formerly a private residence, in the 1840s it became the Birmingham Lying-in Hospital and Dispensary for the Diseases of Women and Children for Birmingham and the West Midlands Counties.<\/p>\n

By 1955, the building had been renamed the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital and would later function as a nightclub, Islington Villa.<\/p>\n

Historians and conservationists opposed the plans, with David Adshead of the Georgian Group saying \u201cBuilding over or around a listed building but not touching it directly is clearly a worrying new trend by which heritage protection<\/a> can, without revision to current legislation, be circumvented.\u201d<\/p>\n
