Ambitious plans: How the Peddimore development could look
Business opportunities arising from the huge Peddimore development have been presented to Sutton Coldfield Chamber representatives. The Chamber’s executive committee gained
an insight into the Minworth site, which could create up to 6,500 jobs and attract leading manufacturing and logistics firms. David Smith, planning director at IM
Properties who are seeking planning permission to deliver 66.5 hectares of employment space and infrastructure, outlined proposals for the site and the range of business opportunities arising from the development. Chamber committee members were also
given an overview of the social value commitments, including the Peddimore Community Fund which will provide grants to local community projects. David Smith said: “Our vision for Peddimore is
to create a high-quality development that attracts leading national and international manufacturing and logistics businesses, delivers a best-in-class employment location and an economic asset that Royal Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham can be proud of.”
