About Langley SUE, Sutton Coldfield

Langley sustainable urban extension (Langley SUE) is one of the largest residential growth initiatives within the UK. Birmingham City Council released the land to respond to the demand for new communities and supportive infrastructure improvements. The proposals put forward will form a key part of Birmingham’s ambition to provide over 51,000 new homes by 2031. Savills urban design studio, in conjunction with Savills planning, developed an outline application and masterplan for the site. The outline masterplan depicts a series of community, education and leisure uses, as well as mixed use centres in conjunction with the large scale housing provision.
