00:05for approval again following amendments. The project aims to transform the former wholesale
00:11markets near the Bullring into a landmark destination. A council report highlighted
00:17that the applicant has committed to a 23% increase in the size of Smithfield Park. The
00:24plans aim to improve spaces like Smithfield Park and Manor Square, which faced scrutiny
