Perry Barr Residential Scheme is the first phase of a housing development on the former Birmingham City University Teaching Campus at Aldridge Road in Perry Barr, Birmingham, England. Birmingham City Council secured planning consent for 1,414 homes in December 2018. 12
The scheme includes apartments and family homes, alongside public spaces, private courtyards and amenity areas. Construction of the first 968 homes across four plots began in January 2020 and was completed in stages by spring 2023; internal fit-out work finished in spring 2024. 1
Birmingham City Council is leading the scheme. Lendlease was commissioned as principal contractor for the initial phase, and appointed contractors to work across its four plots. 711 The council says its housing strategy is intended to provide a mix of homes and tenures that responds to local needs. 1
The council retained 213 homes for council housing and sold 487 homes across two plots to L&G Affordable Homes, for affordable rent and shared ownership. Together, those 700 homes exceed the planning application’s affordable-housing target of 312 for the scheme. 16 L&G manages the homes marketed as Perry Barr Village. 1
