What redundant buildings we want near Sutton Coldfield
Redundant buildings in Sutton Coldfield often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites. Sitting about 7 miles north-east of Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield is within the West Midlands, with Aldridge and Birmingham close by.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Metro tram extensions, the High Speed 2 stations at Curzon Street and Interchange, and suburban rail lines are a focus for higher-density homes. Former industrial land often needs contamination and ground investigation, and the Black Country's mining and limestone legacy means ground stability checks are common.
