Longbridge West, Birmingham

Liz Lake Associates were appointed by St Modwen Homes to develop the masterplan for 343 homes for the former MG Rover site in west Longbridge. The scheme has obtained planning permission and is now under construction.

A landscape led approach was taken to create a series of high-quality public open space linked to the surrounding River Rea green infrastructure corridor. The landscape design has helped to shape a distinct streetscape character and hierarchy across the wider site with striking avenue tree and amenity planting. A strong pedestrian & cycle link has been created to take people from the contemporary urban public realm and streetscape to the surrounding naturalistic linear park and beyond.

Specimen trees were strategically positioned at key focal points to aid place making and enhance streetscape characters. Strong structural planting was used to create a robust planting scheme with year-round interest and to provide strong green infrastructure link throughout the development. The linear park at the centre of the site was designed to incorporate SuDS, play, and public realm features that work in synergy to both satisfy planning requirement and create a natural style park landscape.
