Planning permission for Digbeth development marks start of first phase of Smithfield masterplan

A Birmingham-based developer’s plans to build 687 new homes in Digbeth, Birmingham, have been approved by councillors, two years after the initial application was submitted.

Pressworks is the first development in the wider Smithfield masterplan area to receive approval. The rest of Birmingham’s £1.9bn scheme to regenerate the brownfield site is being advanced separately.

Prosperity Group states that Pressworks will turn an “underutilised brownfield site” of warehouses and commercial premises into a new gateway to Birmingham city centre.
