Funding boost for new Digbeth resi scheme

A new residential development in a Birmingham district has been handed a funding boost.

West Midlands Combined Authority has agreed to make a "multimillion-pound investment" into the project in Digbeth although the final figure is yet to be decided.

The scheme comprises 481 apartments with 55 per cent of these classed as affordable, including 141 for social rent, across a pair of interlinked buildings reaching ten and 34 storeys respectively.

The scheme, earmarked for derelict land off Clyde Street, has been brought forward by Latimer, the development arm of affordable housing provider Clarion Housing Group.
