The redundant buildings that interests us around Stourbridge
We are interested in buildings around Stourbridge that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Sitting about 10 miles west of Birmingham, Stourbridge is within the West Midlands, with Brierley Hill and Kingswinford close by.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings within towns and villages
The West Midlands county is a dense conurbation of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Solihull, Walsall, Dudley and the Black Country towns. Green Belt surrounds and separates parts of the conurbation, including the Meriden Gap between Birmingham and Coventry, so most housing comes from previously developed land: former industrial and canal-side sites, yards, garage courts and town centres. Grey belt and small fringe sites around Sutton Coldfield, Solihull and Aldridge can also come forward.

My building is listed. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it means listed building consent as well as planning permission, and design must respect the building's significance.

Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
