Designs for proposed redevelopment plans for the Former Market Hall Site will be available for residents and visitors to view and comment on at:
BirdBox, on Saturday 4th March from 10am until 1pm
Bromsgrove Library on Monday 6th March from 4pm until 7pm.
At the events you can see the designs, speak to officers and consultants working on the project and give your opinions.
The plans put forward will deliver a landmark building, providing flexible office space, business start-up and co-working spaces, with restaurants and bars on the ground floor and a proposed Pavilion building for hosting exhibitions, cultural and community events, all surrounded by new public space.
Councillor Karen May - Leader of Bromsgrove District Council said: “We are extremely excited to have reached this milestone in the project. Although lots of work has taken place in the background up to now, we have finally reached the point where we can share these fantastic proposals with the public.
“We want to take users of the BirdBox, businesses and visitors, on this journey with us. If you are available, please stop by and make the most of this key opportunity to learn more about the plans, discuss them with us and have a say on the proposed designs.
“Should we be successful in getting planning approval after these consultations, it will be the start of lots of exciting, visible changes on the site and the next significant steps towards creating a new town centre destination to improve the viability and vitality of Bromsgrove.”
The proposed plans will be subject to both Cabinet and Planning approval.
Works to regenerate this important town centre site are funded through a £14.5m grant secured by the council from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund. The project will deliver up to 2,500 sqm of flexible commercial/cultural space and builds on the success of the current BirdBox.
