ii.
The Council will support proposals that include passenger facilities, offices,
and residential, together with associated ancillary uses (including retail,
leisure and hotel developments of an appropriate scale).
iii.
Land bounded by the M42, A452 and A45, as shown as Site UK1 on the
Policies Map, will be released from the Green Belt to accommodate new
development that will capitalise on the unique opportunity presented by the
UK Central Solihull Hub Area. The exceptional circumstances justifying the
removal of the land from the Green Belt are set out in the justification to this
policy.
iv.
It will be expected that proposals for development of the area will be
promoted in a comprehensive and coordinated manner, taking account of the
phasing set out in the Hub Growth and Infrastructure Plan.
National Exhibition Centre (NEC)
v.
To enable the NEC to meet its future aspirations and to drive economic and
employment growth, the Council will enable a broad range of developments to
enhance the visitor offer, diversify facilities and increase international
competitiveness.
vi.
Development the Council will support and encourage will include that needed
for operational purposes such as new or refurbished exhibition halls, transport
facilities and other development needed to enable the NEC to enhance its
international competitiveness.
vii.
The Council will also support a broad range of ancillary and complementary
facilities needed to enhance visitor experience and support operational
needs. These will include hotels, administrative offices, warehouses, catering,
meeting space, appropriate leisure and entertainment facilities and other
supporting development, provided it is justified in terms of scale, its support
for the NEC as a whole and is appropriately located within the NEC.
viii.
The Council will also support proposals that contribute towards wider place
making objectives including commercial and residential development and
other business uses. This will particularly be the case in circumstances
where it can be demonstrated that more efficient use can be made of the
NEC site, or where appropriate compensatory provisions can be made
elsewhere (including the use of decked parking).
Birmingham Airport
34
ix.
The Council will support and encourage further development needed for
operational purposes such as passenger and freight facilities, terminals,
transport facilities and other development that supports operational needs, or
which allows the capacity of the extended runway to be maximised.
x.
The Council will also support a broad range of ancillary and complementary
facilities including hotels, administrative offices car parks and other
appropriate facilities needed to serve the needs of air travellers using the
Airport. Proposals should be justified in terms of scale and in terms of
supporting the Airport function and be appropriately located so as not to
detract from Airport function.
