Moseley's Big Plan (supplementary planning document consultation)

We asked for your help in producing Moseley's BIG PLAN. Local residents were asked to submit their big ideas for improving the area. Since that initial consultation we have been working with Birmingham City Council to work out a new plan that will help protect Moseley's character but still let it develop and remain a flourishing neighbourhood for years to come. The last plan was drawn up 1992 and so needs to be updated. This is the first time residents in Birmingham have been allowed to lead on such a plan. The aim of this new document is to provide guidance so the following outcomes are achieved:

1. Moseley is a better place to live, work.
2. Local resident’s vision for Moseley is realised.
3. The neighbourhood character is preserved and enhanced.
4. Developers, investors, businesses and others understand local priorities.
5. Moseley helps tackle climate change.

All of the repsonses we received were considered and we have attempted to include as many of the ideas as possible in to the draft of the Moseley Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). Birmingham City Council will be undertaking a public consulation about the SPD from the 10th June until the 21st July 2013. You can participate in the consultation by going to www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/development/draft_moseley_spd or www.birmingham.gov.uk/moseleyspd.

You can download the SPD document below along with the Regeneration Strategy for Moseley. This document contains project ideas generated by the community during the development of the SPD. If you belong to a local community group and would like a presentation about the SPD, please let us know and we can try and organise this. You may wish to attend one of these events:
