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 – March 2026
Section 73 Application
We have submitted a Section 73 application to Birmingham City Council which seeks to modify one of the conditions on our hybrid planning permission, The condition currently requires the entirety of Development Zone 2 and a minimum of 5.09ha of Development Zone 1 to be delivered as Use Class B1c/B2 (Light or General Industrial). We are seeking to remove the minimum 5.09ha applied to Development Zone 1 only. You can view the details of our new application on the city council’s website using reference number 2026/00317/PA.
Since our original hybrid planning application was approved in September 2019, there has been a significant change in market conditions which includes a growth in demand for modern industrial and logistics space. Our proposed amendment will allow greater flexibility so that the remaining buildings to be constructed in Development Zone 1, known as Unit A and Unit C, are able to respond to the latest market demand and accommodate different types of businesses, helping to support new jobs and investment while delivering high-quality sustainable facilities that can drive growth in the local economy.
