Richmond Hill Centre Secondary Plan  As a resident of the Richmond Hill Centre, I have experienced firsthand the vibrancy and potential of this area. The Secondary Plan for Richmond Hill Centre plays a crucial role in shaping the future of this dynamic downtown and transit hub. Strategically located at Yonge Street and Highway 7, it aims to support growth through intensification and transit-oriented development, meeting regional and provincial density targets. The plan fosters a mix of residential and commercial spaces with a focus on pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and public areas, enhancing community integration and improving transit connectivity. However, the implementation of this vision poses some challenges. Rapid intensification may strain local infrastructure and services, especially if the balance between residential and commercial development is not carefully managed. The plan relies heavily on successful infrastructure investment and private sector involvement, making it vital to preserve community identity amid this growth. Moreover, addressing affordable housing and avoiding displacement will be key to ensuring that all residents can benefit from the area's development without losing the diversity and vibrancy that make it unique.

🔓 Planning for impact... Over the decades, we've seen an astonishing rate of transformation, not only across the city region, but in the nation's approach to planning as well (if not quite at the same pace). We've seen regional planning, neighbourhood planning and most recently in our city, Greater Manchester Combined Authority's adoption of the sub-regional Places for Everyone plan. Whatever the scale, forward planning is intended to deliver on town planning's big mission: achieving sustainable development in economic, social and environmental terms.

We are pleased to share that we have now exchanged contracts with Homes England to deliver 750 new homes on the site of the former City Hospital on Dudley Road in Birmingham. This transformative regeneration project will blend affordable, private, and rental homes to meet the city's growing housing demand.   The development will preserve the historic infirmary frontage by converting it into apartments, while also creating up to 8,000 sq ft of commercial and community space. With 35% of the homes designated as affordable, the project aims to provide more people with access to quality housing in a sustainable and vibrant community. Additionally, the plan includes significant improvements to local infrastructure, along with new public spaces and a park for future residents.   Phil McHugh, Managing Director of Vistry North West Midlands said: “This major regeneration scheme will transform a challenging brownfield site into 750 high-quality, mixed tenure homes and new commercial uses, bringing valuable investment to the city.”   This project is a key part of ongoing efforts to regenerate Birmingham and provide high-quality, affordable housing for the community.
