Option L1
Plain English Version
Ladywood renewed.
This option would see major change in Ladywood to create a place which has more people living in it who enjoy the very best homes, streets, public spaces, shops and facilities.
There will be a more even balance between privately owned, shared-ownership and council rented homes. There would be apartments around key focal points like the local high street or square, and a range of other homes elsewhere. These would include family houses, retirement homes and homes for people who have particular needs. Ladywood would also see a better range of schools, shopping, work and green spaces. The whole neighbourhood will be easier to get into and out of, with good links to Icknield Port Loop and what we call the Westside area.

Ladywood renewed. The area would be comprehensively redeveloped to create a medium density residential urban neighbourhood fully supported by local amenities of exemplary standard. The area would be developed with higher quality homes, better streets and spaces and a greater variety of local amenities and a more even balance between privately owned, shared-ownership and council rented homes. There would be apartments around key focal points like the local high street or square, and a range of other homes elsewhere including family dwellings, retirement homes and special needs housing. The quarter would have an improved range of community facilities, schools, local shopping, working opportunities and green spaces. New linkages through the area would be developed to connect Ladywood with surrounding areas, particularly Icknield Port Loop and Westside.
