Council faces regeneration setback amid legal challenge

BIRMINGHAM

- 

City Council has confirmed that it faces a huge setback in its controversial plans to regenerate Druids Heath.The massive scheme is set to transform the area and provide thousands of new homes, new infrastructure, transport links, improved green spaces and much more.

But there have also been recurring concerns over the potential impact on the community; the levels of demolition and fears existing residents will be priced out of the area.

Tensions previously boiled over at a council meeting last October when the plans were narrowly approved by Birmingham's planning committee.
