The £112 millions Belgrave Village scheme is an exciting new contemporary community in Birmingham city centre: 438 energy-efficient houses and apartments are set amongst extensive new open space, with a fully equipped gym, co-working space and screening room.
Maps from 1950s show a number of developments on the site, including a diecast works in the northwestern corner, a timber yard in the northeast corner, furniture works across the central and eastern parts of the site and a light engineering works in the southeastern part of the site.
The site was completely redeveloped by the mid-1970s, with the Mount Pleasant Primary School and community centre constructed across the south of the site. These works included significant earthworks to relevel the site and form a number of slopes. Maps from 1989-1992 show a football pitch in the northwestern part of the site and a sports centre in the north of the site.

The site investigation work was carried out in full accordance to current British Standards.
This included 33 trial pits, 9 gas wells and subsequent rounds of monitoring and sampling.
