Planning application submitted for 55 Holloway Head

Beyond Property Group is pleased to confirm that a full planning application has been submitted for the comprehensive redevelopment of 55 Holloway Head, Birmingham, a prominent city-centre site.

The proposals seek consent for a residential-led mixed-use scheme comprising the sensitive conversion and extension of the existing former Lee Bank Business Centre, alongside the redevelopment of the adjacent land along Chapman’s Passage. The scheme has been carefully designed following extensive pre-application engagement with Birmingham City Council

A Transformational City Centre Scheme

The proposed development includes:

  • The conversion and extension of the existing building to create 211 apartments

  • The delivery of 9 new townhouses and 4 additional apartments along Chapman’s Passage

  • Four ground-floor commercial units to activate key street frontages

  • New landscaped courtyards, rooftop amenity space and improved public realm

  • Secure cycle parking and sustainable transport measures

The scheme represents a significant opportunity to regenerate an underutilised brownfield site and bring it back into active use, responding positively to Birmingham’s ongoing housing needs and city-centre growth ambitions

Design-Led and Context Responsive

The proposals have been shaped by the site’s unique topography and surrounding urban context. The architectural approach retains and reinterprets the existing building’s character while introducing high-quality contemporary additions. Brick-led façades, active street frontages and clearly defined entrances aim to enhance the townscape along Holloway Head, Blucher Street and Chapman’s Passage

The layout prioritises pedestrian movement, sustainable travel and high-quality living environments, with generous cycle provision, secure access arrangements and well-designed amenity spaces.

Looking Ahead

The planning submission marks a key step forward in Beyond Property Group’s commitment to delivering design-led, sustainable regeneration in Birmingham’s city centre. The application is now under consideration by Birmingham City Council.

Further updates will be shared as the application progresses.
