Our Future City: Draft Central Birmingham Framework 2040 Consultation

Overview

Birmingham City Council has now launched the public consultation on 'Our Future City: Draft Central Birmingham 2040 Framework'. The Framework sets an ambitious vision for the future of development and regeneration in Central Birmingham, outlining bold proposals and interventions to be delivered over the next two decades and that will help Birmingham become a green, prosperous and healthy city for everyone.

The Draft Framework builds on the comments and representations received at the 'Shaping Our City Together' consultation in 2021 and the many conversations since which have all helped shape the plan.

We are asking for feedback to help us refine and shape this bold and ambitious strategy for Central Birmingham which will set the direction of future statutory planning policy and guidance.

You can download the Draft Framework using the link below. Please use the online survey below to share your views on the Draft Framework. It should take around 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Why your views matter

This consultation is seeking views on the vision, opportunities, proposals and interventions that will help shape Central Birmingham over the next 20 years. Your views will help us refine the final version of the Framework that will be published later in the year.

Please share this with as many interested parties as possible as we would particularly welcome suggestions and comments from residents and local businesses on the draft proposals for Central Birmingham. We are also looking for people to deliver the vision alongside us. As such as part of this exercise we want to continue building relationships and an understanding of what is happening across the area to ensure that we are able to shape Central Birmingham's future together.

What happens next

The public consultation on the Draft Central Birmingham Framework 2040 closed on 17th August 2023. Thank you to everyone who submitted a response to the consultation. We are now reviewing all responses received and they will be taken into account in preparing the final version of the Central Birmingham Framework.
