A consultation seeking views on plans to bring up to 3,500 new homes to Druids Heath in Birmingham has reopened.
The 20-year regeneration programme is being brought forward by Birmingham City Council, in partnership with Lovell, and residents are being invited to once again have their say on the scheme.
This is the third formal consultation period in the planning history of the application, alongside wider involvement from residents throughout the development of the plans.
A key change to the plans is the amount of social rented homes being delivered, which has been increased from 11.4% to up to 20%.
Alongside this, the partnership’s wider commitment remains that, once the regeneration is complete, at least 51 per cent of homes in Druids Heath will be affordable.
The consultation reopens following legal action relating to the outline planning consent, which was originally approved in October 2025. Birmingham City Council subsequently agreed to cancel the approval and return to Planning Committee for a fresh decision later this year.
The proposals also include improved open spaces, play areas and other recreational facilities.
Birmingham City Council and Lovell are working with Planning Aid England and Loconomy to provide a free drop-in event during the consultation period.
This session will help residents understand the proposals and the planning process, and they can provide support to anyone who wants to submit comments.
Councillor Baber Baz, Cabinet Member for Housing and Homelessness at Birmingham City Council, said: “The consultation period has opened for residents of the Druids Heath area to give their thoughts and opinions on our masterplan to regenerate and bring up to 3,500 new homes to local people.”
“I would encourage people to take part before the 7 October deadline. Support is available through Planning Aid England and Loconomy, and information on how to give your views is also available on the Druid Heaths website.”
