City skyscraper plans grounded

PLANS for Birmingham's third tallest skyscraper have been put on hold due to a technical hitch.

Designs for the 40-storey hotel and apartment tower on the former Tramps nightclub site, in Broad Street, were set to go before the city's planning committee.

But they were withdrawn at the last minute for some late changes.

The application is expected to return to the committee for a decision within the next few weeks.
