Birminghams Planning Committee Rejects Student Housing Proposal: Heritage Concerns PrevailIn a significant decision, Birminghams planning committee has rejected a proposal to build a sixteen-story student accommodation block on the site of the former Golden Eagle pub. The developers had sought permission for a building that would house two hundred and sixty-three student beds in the city center. The decision comes after much discussion regarding the projects impact on local heritage. The site, once home to a popular music venue, was deemed to cause less than substantial harm to nearby significant heritage assets. However, concerns about the buildings height and the citys existing student accommodation led to the rejection. The council officer suggested bringing the matter back for further discussion.
