Plan lodged for 42-storey Birmingham BTR tower

Plans have been submitted to transform a derelict hospital in Birmingham into a 42-storey skyscraper with 300 flats.
Planning consultancy Marrons, acting on behalf of HJB Investments, submitted the plan to redevelop the Grade II-listed former Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in 80 Broad Street.
The historic building last used as a nightclub and known as Islington Villa would be restored and a 134m tower constructed for the rental flats, 20% of which will be affordable.The plans, designed by architects
