Plans to create “characterful” public spaces around the new HS2 station in Birmingham city centre have been recommended for approval.
HS2 Ltd recently unveiled several images of what the areas around Curzon Street Station could look like, as the terminus in the heart of the city continues to take shape.
Proposals for a revised scheme for the areas in and around the new station are now set to be considered by council planners next week.
A report said the ideas sought to establish a series of “distinct character areas” including the main arrival space, which would have natural stone paving, lighting, furniture, landscape gardens and terraces.
