A new residential complex reaching up to 18 storeys is set to be built next to one of Birmingham's busiest commuter routes . New plans have been lodged to demolish the buildings on the corner of the A38 Bristol Street and Essex Street and replace them with 68 apartments and two ground- floor commercial units . The development will be part seven storeys and part 18 storeys high and also count nightclub Chic and the O2 Academy concert venue among its neighbours. Some of the existing properties on the application site date back to the 1860s but none of them are listed. Jewellery Quarter- based practice BPN Architects has designed the new scheme and said it had assessed the possibility of renovating the existing buildings but this was not deemed to be financially viable due to their poor condition and complex structure. The new development will have an equal number of one- and two-bedroom apartments, secure parking for 80 bikes but no space for vehicles. Read More Warwick-...

Councilman Dicky Shanor was absent for the 9-0 decision.

Johnson Chrome was a notorious big spender with a taste for bottle service , bespoke suits and $10,000 shoes. The source of his wealth? A sophisticated identity theft scheme that may have conned Torontonians out of millions. The untold story of the city’s most wanted fraudster Photographs: All portraits via Facebook; background by iStock T he fraudster who called himself Johnson Chrome liked to sit on a bench at the intersection of Hazelton and Yorkville, smoking a Montecristo Edmundo robusto and talking about fashion, cars and cigars to anyone who’d listen. He was charming and handsome, with a neatly trimmed beard , a shaved head and perfect teeth. The perch placed him at the centre of the rarefied universe he’d come to inhabit. His condo, in the former Four Seasons hotel, was steps to the west, and he parked his black Jaguar at the Hazelton Hotel opposite . His gym, the sleek Equinox, was a minute’s walk northwest; his preferred cigar shop , La Casa del Habano , was to the sout...
