One of Birmingham's most popular tourist and event destinations is to undergo a restoration project under newly submitted plans.

City architecture practice Howells has lodged proposals to revamp the gradeII*-listed Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston which is home to more than 10,000 botanic species.

The "urgent and extensive restoration" is desperately needed, according to chief executive work Sara Blair-Manning, as the site's future is considered 'at risk' by government body Historic England.

The 15-acre site is home to heritage assets, including four Victorian glasshouses, which will be restored to reflect their original form and adapted to serve contemporary horticultural needs.
