Proposed developments include a community-led cohousing scheme and a new 112-room hotel

The Bournville Village Trust and Mondelēz International, the owner of Cadbury, are consulting on a series of potential new developments within the famous garden suburb of Bournville in south Birmingham.

The stated intention of the consultation is to “develop a long-term plan for Bournville heritage places and spaces,” with a focus on increased cultural activity, connectivity, and community amenities.

Proposed developments include a new community-led cohousing scheme, the conversion of the Cadbury factory’s sports pavilion into a restaurant, and the construction of a new hotel on the site of a former staff clubhouse.
