Corstophine & Wright Architects has drawn up proposals to replace a 1960s development that lines one of the remaining sections of Birmingham’s Inner Ring Road with three tower blocks, the tallest of which would be 56 storeys.

The scheme would deliver around 1,800 homes and replace the six-storey Ringway Centre on Smallbrook Queensway. It was designed by James Roberts, architect of the Rotunda – Birmingham’s most famous 1960s building.
