Site: Axis Square, Holliday Street, Birmingham
Client: London and Continental Railways
Project: Demolition of existing office building and construction of four new buildings ranging between 6-23 storeys for circa 100,000sqm of mixed office, retail, restaurant spaces.

Key Inputs:

  • Study of surrounding highway network to seek alternative solution to Birmingham City Council (BCC) having to raise a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) for part of the site for a highway improvement scheme. Alternative route identified, designed, and agreed with BCC, resulting in the threat of a CPO being removed to enable wholescale redevelopment of the site to occur
  • Supporting outline application for the development of the site, including production of highway design plans for new vehicular access, closure of existing access, and basement car parking and servicing area, and a Transport Assessment and Travel Plan;
  • Input to phasing design for the development, to ensure that access for all users is secured throughout the various demolition and construction phases;
  • Supporting hybrid application, to provide further detail to the first phase of development, and revised access opportunities, with preliminary designs for further highway improvements to enable alternative access solutions.
