'Wonky wedding cake' plans go before councillors
Local Democracy Reporting Service
A proposed university building that has been compared to "a wonky wedding cake" is going before planning chiefs next week.
A report by officers at Birmingham City Council described the designs for Aston University as "a fantastic proposal, a well-designed piece of architecture with excellent-looking landscaping".
The design has also been compared to hula hoops.
Members are recommended to approve the plan.

The building would be built on Gosta Green and it would mainly be used for teaching, with a cafe on the ground floor.
The council's planning committee will meet on 5 August.
