Plans to redevelop Birmingham’s former Smithfield wholesale markets have taken another step forward as city council planners recommend approval.

The £1.9bn redevelopment would see the former markets turned into a new landmark destination including residential living, offices, a park, retail, and cultural spaces.

Concerns had previously been raised over the future of Smithfield Park. In response, the company behind the plans, Lendlease, has committed to a 23% increase in the minimum size of the park.

Councillors will consider the plans next week.
