Peddimore is a best in class employment location for national and international manufacturing and logistics businesses.
Situated at the heart of the country, the site occupies a strategic position on the edge of Birmingham and close to key transport routes in one of the UK’s most prominent locations for logistics, distribution and manufacturing.
Since planning permission was first granted in 2019, IM Properties has been delivering the first phase of development, which includes a new fulfilment centre for Amazon supporting approximately 3,000 jobs during peak periods, alongside all of the site’s strategic infrastructure.
This has included a new access roundabout on the A38 alongside, internal spine roads and a wrap around 4.3km walking and cycling route. As part of the creation of extensive and accessible new green infrastructure over 120,000 tree species have been planted, while the development has all been brought forward alongside a dedicated social value programme.
Latest update – April 2025
Development Zone 1B (Unit C)
IM Properties has now submitted a Reserved Matters application to Birmingham City Council for the next employment building at Peddimore, known as Unit C and located within Development Zone 1B (DZ1B). You can view further details of our proposals here.
The application is currently with the city council’s planning department. It has a reference number 2025/01978/PA and can be viewed on the city council website.
Section 73 application(Unit C)
This follows the approval of the “Section 73” application in March which has allowed an increase to the maximum building height on DZ1B from 19.5m to 22.5m.
These proposals are separate from those recently announced at a public consultation by Rockwool, which is coming forward within the land it has acquired from Birmingham City Council; Development Zone 2. This area does not therefore form part of IM Properties’ landholding at Peddimore.
Midlands Land Portfolio Ltd (part of Severn Trent Water) has also submitted a planning application for employment development on land it owns to the south of Development Zone 2 (this is completely separate to the land IM Properties control).
Birmingham’s first Padel Club facility
We are working with The Padel Club to develop Birmingham’s first dedicated Padel Club facility, on the Hub plot at the gateway to the site. The proposals include a 10-court facility alongside a clubhouse (including a café) and outdoor social space. You can find out more about the Padel Club’s proposals here.
A separate Reserved Matters application for this facility will be submitted to Birmingham City Council in Spring 2025.
