Sutton Coldfield HS2 Gateway - Option Development, Preliminary Design, Modelling and Outline Business Case

The HS2 Connectivity Programme includes a £48.6m package of improvements in Sutton Coldfield to transform the town's connectivity to HS2. Within that is £19m for the Sutton Coldfield HS2 Gateway. This piece of work is to progress the Sutton Coldfield HS2 Gateway scheme through to Outline Business Case (OBC) stage including a review of existing options, modeling and preliminary design. The Brief set out 7 Tasks and an optional Task 8 (subject to availability of funding). As the scheme is heavily focused on delivery of high quality urban design as a mechanism to transform integration and movement within Sutton Coldfield town centre it is therefore expected that this commission is urban design led.
