Support Growth Option E (UKC Hub and HS2) as the most appropriate opportunity for where growth should be focussed. This will enable the delivery of the UKC Masterplan and HS2 Growth Strategy, including major growth opportunities and place-making potential around the HS2 Interchange Station, such as the NEC.

UKC hub area has potential to deliver sustainable economic growth over the plan period and the concept of flexibility is supported to ensure that no future development opportunities are lost.
Agree with the aim of Policy P1 which is realistic and will address the spatial implications of economic and social change over the plan period.
The policy offers the opportunity for further retail and leisure activities at Resorts World to support the ambitions of the NEC.
Support mixed use areas but need to ensure that this does not result in a conflict of uses and impact on amenity.

Support the concept that new development should be focussed in the most accessible locations. Agree that development proposals for retail and leisure uses should be directed to other established locations, including the NEC. The sustainability of the NEC will be enhanced by the arrival of Midland Metro, SPRINT and HS2.

Policies to protect the environment should be used to control any new residential development at the NEC and ensure the effects of existing adjacent uses can be mitigated against through careful consideration of layout, landscape buffering and/or appropriate acoustic insulation.
