Curzon Gate (also known as Curzon Gateway) is a residential development located on the edge of Birmingham City Centre, England, on a prominent gateway site into the city centre. The land was formerly occupied by Castle Cement silos.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eastside – Curzon Gateway ) 〕 The 〔 site is located in the Eastside area, which is currently witnessing a large-scale regeneration scheme. It is located next to Curzon Park and opposite Eastside Locks, both of which are developments. It is bounded by a railway viaduct to the south and a road junction on the A4540 road. It is separated from Curzon Park by the Digbeth Branch Canal. The government's plan for High Speed 2, published on 11 March 2010, requires the use of the Curzon Gate site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Water Orton Corridor, Fazely Street Station, Plan Profile Sheet 6 of 7 ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=High Speed Rail: London to the West Midlands and Beyond. A Report to Government by High Speed Two Limited. Chapter 3 p118 )〕 The land receives its name from Curzon Street railway station and five underground railway tunnels are located directly underneath the site where they terminate. The extension and reuse of the tunnels had been proposed for railway expansion in Birmingham, however, the proposals did not develop. These railway tunnels terminated at the Digbeth Branch Canal however when the Castle Cement silos were constructed, the tunnels were filled in up to Lawley Middleway. The developers are the Eastside Partnership and the agent are Drivers Jonas. ==Planning history== Initial planning permission was blocked by the High Court following intervention by MacDermid who were given permission previously to store hazardous chemicals on their Eastside site. This meant that all planning applications within a radius of their site had to be approved by the Health and Safety Executive. However, Birmingham City Council had ignored the HSE which led to MacDermid appealing to the High Court. However, planning permission was granted later on. On 12 October 2006, an outline planning application for the development was presented before the planning committee who decided to defer it due to Section 106 payments. Through previous consideration of the application an agreement over the Section 106 issues between Birmingham City Council and the applicant was signed and completed on 31 January 2005. It provided for contributions on the overall site with overall site being defined as the Castle Cement site (which Curzon Gate will be situated on) and the Parcelforce site (which will be covered by Curzon Park). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curzon Gate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
