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.
In early 2025, IM Properties is submitting two Reserved Matters applications for further new development at Peddimore.
This includes 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 – further details are available here.
We are also preparing an application for the site’s next employment building within Development Zone 1B. Further details of this are available here.
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).
