00:00Plans for a waterside estate beside Edgbaston Reservoir are dividing opinion.
00:06Kayon Homes and Midland Heart propose ninety-five affordable net-zero properties on the former
00:11Tower Ballroom site.
00:13The homes would support homeless families living in temporary accommodation, alongside
00:18first-time buyers and affordable rent tenants.
00:21Developers promised solar panels, low-carbon heating and biodiversity areas, but campaigners
00:28fear construction could damage the reservoir's role as a nature reserve and haven for bird
00:32life after around 100 residents attended a consultation.
00:37The application is now being validated by Birmingham City Council before formal public consultation
00:43can begin in due course.
