Anyone know if it's feasible to breath some life into the street level of that horrible brown building?
I agree, Brum X, and I agree with all you say Ray. The city is looking extremely good and the regeneration has about 75 percent to go.Yes, demolish the b=oody thing and that will be a massive improvement full stop
It would have worked better with an extra 10 storeys. I am not a fan of stumpy tall buildings. Shame, but I understand the economics of the extra 10 floors.Those are beautiful buildings, around and adjacent to Council House, the new towers seem out of place though an improvement upon the old NATWEST building. Cannot architects resist the need to go ultra modern amongst historical surroundings?
I would like the heritage be preserved if at all possible and if architects have any sensitivity to surroundings!
Why does Birmingham always have issues with "heritage assets". ??
Every single development proposal in this city always has issues with this subject matter, I don't even class this plot of land as the JQ, it is more Snow Hill to me ? It is also directly opposite 3 Snowhill which was the largest new office development outside London and in the opposite direction we have a 152metre concrete pole aka BT Tower. This is not situated in the heart of the JQ, it is situated in the heart of the city centre.

Planners must give a balanced report. Even if you love a proposal you have to set out negative impacts as well as the positive. The critical thing is the officer recommendation and ultimately what it says on the decision notice.Why does Birmingham always have issues with "heritage assets". ??
