Summary

The site is offered with the benefit of a new 255 year long leasehold interest

Description

JLL are appointed to dispose of the carpark on Staniforth Street, situated directly north of the former Council Offices. The site is bounded by Collegiate’s PBSA offering on Bagot Street to the north, Staniforth Street to the east, Unite Student’s, Staniforth House to the south and Lancaster Street to the West. The surrounding uses are predominately student focussed.

There is a lease with a car park operator and a license with an advertisement company on the hoardings facing Lancaster Street which provides a combined annual income of £23,400. Both can be terminated at short notice to provide vacant possession. Further detailscontained within the data room.

This is a prime high-density development opportunity located within short walking distance from Birmingham’s vibrant leisure, retail and commercial offerings along with both the campuses of Aston University and Birmingham City University, the home to a combined total of over 40,000 students.

Opportunity

The site extends to c.0.9 acres (0.36 ha) and does not have a specific land-use designation in the BDP so there is opportunity for to develop a range of uses to significant scale benefiting from other forthcoming neighbouring developments.

Offers are invited on a subject to planning or unconditional basis for a 255 year long leasehold interest.

Planning

The site falls under the jurisdiction of Birmingham City Council. There are no current planning approvals or relevant planning history, post 1990.

The site lies within Birmingham City Centre ‘growth area’ as identified in the Birmingham Development Plan (BDP) policy GA1. In light of the policy context and the site’s location, a wide range of uses would be deemed suitable, such as leisure, educational, office, hotel, residential development and/or a mixed use.

Given all developments on adjoining boundaries are student accommodation and the site is very well located to Aston University, Student Accommodation is likely to be most appropriate use.

The site is constrained by windows within adjacent development looking on to the site, both Staniforth House and Collegiate Student Accommodation have windows looking on to the site. Any proposal would need to consider the impacts development would have upon the amenity of adjoining buildings, through loss of light and privacy, separation between windows will be required.

There are no heritage assets immediately adjacent to the site, but there are 2 listed building and 2 locally listed buildings within the wider context:
• Grade II listed former Newhall Penworks at Moland Street
• Grade II listed 16,17 & 18 Princip Street
• Locally listed former Ben Johnson P.H. at Corporation Street
• Locally listed S.B.H.A. Clinic at Lancaster Street

The site is located within parking zone A, therefore guidance requires development to have zero parking provision, other than for servicing and disabled parking.

In regard to Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging zones, the site is within the Low Residential Market Value, the student housing area and City Centre Hotel Zone area. All corresponding rates can be found on the Council website.
