Additional development at the NEC should be within its boundaries. There should be a stated protection for Bickenhill Plantations as a buffer to residential development in Marston Green.
Any reduction in car parking should not be detrimental to the local area.
Birmingham Airport development must maintain and enhance the living environment around the airport and development should be within its boundaries.
Development at Birmingham Business Park should minimise environmental impact on surrounding residential properties.
The Garden City approach at Arden Cross should not be compromised. Retail and other development should be of an appropriate scale the site, not large scale.

Support the concept of mixed development around the HS2 Interchange, but the Garden City approach outlined in 2014 must not be diluted in design terms just to accommodate the considerable increase in housing numbers now proposed for the site. The expectation that this will be an exemplary example of design with a pubic realm/open space and truly high quality sense of place that meets expectation, not a second rate development that will not justify taking the site out of the Green Belt.
