Plans submitted for new Birmingham square

Plans have been submitted for Birmingham's new public square to be sited in the Jewellery Quarter.

The £1.5 million square, to be called "Golden Square", is one of the first projects in Birmingham council's Big City Plan.

Capita Lovejoy
, a branch of the Capita Group, is developing the project.

The plans show a series of “exposed seams” running like needles on a compass out towards the district’s traditional material sources and global trading partners.

For me, it is disappointing that the plans do not show a great deal of green space - one of things that Birmingham is calling out for.
