The new proposed development for the iconic Ringway Centre will see three huge buildings introduced to the site, ranging from 44 storeys up to 56 storeys. If the plans are accepted a total of 1,750 apartments will be provided as well as food and drinks outlets, a spa, a cinema, a gym and a nightclub. It would involve the demolition of the existing curved block, which was designed by James Roberts, the man behind Birmingham’s famous Rotunda – which has left many in Birmingham calling for the building to be retained. The plans will now go before a Birmingham City Council planning committee in 2023.placeholder image

Birmingham is one of the most rapidly transforming cities in Europe - and its development looks set to continue with these huge plans

In the ever-changing metropolis that is Birmingham City Centre, it may sometimes seem impossible to keep up with the new developments planned for the city.

With that in mind, the Local Democracy Reporting Service has put together a list of some of the biggest developments completed or announced this year to keep you in the loop.

The nine schemes cover everything from sport to cooking to banqueting and education. It looks like Birmingham’s transformation is continuing dramatically.

Here are nine big building developments for 2023:

One of the best schools in Birmingham, King Edward VI Handsworth Wood Girls’ plans to tear down its crumbling outdated classrooms and start afresh. As part of a huge project, all the existing teaching accommodation apart from the Sixth Form Centre will be demolished. A 3-storey teaching block, including classrooms, dining and main halls, a drama studio and all the supporting staff and storage areas will be constructed in its place. The school consistently receives stellar Ofsted reports and is one of the best schools to provide Oxbridge candidates from Birmingham.
