Plans revealed for 200-bed aparthotel in Birmingham city centre

Plans have been revealed for a new 198-bed aparthotel in Birmingham, on the site of the former Lee Longlands car park

Called Lead Works, the scheme could be built on the corner of Granvilled Street and Tennant Street and rise to 12-storeys in height.

The developer behind the scheme is the Soller Group, which built and then sold 211 Broad Street.

The scheme is being designed by Glancy Nicholls, with PJ Planning providing planning consultancy services.

A statement with the planning application reads: “The development is shown to be an appropriate design solution for the site, demonstrating high design quality, enhancing local distinctiveness and making efficient use of a brownfield site in an accessible location, with an appropriate mix of dwellings. It ensures the revitalisation of an inner-city location in accordance with policy.”
