Decision date for latest Business Park expansion

PLANNING chiefs will next week decide whether to allow two more industrial units to be built in Marston Green.
The latest application for an expansion to Birmingham Business Park follows previous controversy over the development off Blackfirs Lane - which drew scores of complaints from residents.
This new proposal would see further building work on a parcel of land off Solihull Parkway.
Although Bickenhill and Marston Green Parish Council have made clear they have concerns about vehicle movements and the impact on neighbours.
Its submission to Solihull Council said: "The layout of the proposed buildings is such that there is considerable potential for noise and disturbance to leak out from the site."
These fears about 24/7 activity have led to a call for operations to be suspended overnight, on Sundays and during Bank Holidays.
Solihull Council's planning department, which has carried out surveys at the location, are satisfied that the noise won't affect the nearby Holiday Inn.
It has also advised councillors against trying to curb activity at certain times, given that no such limits have been placed on previous developments at the Business Park.
Recommending the plans be approved, they emphasised the economic benefit to the surrounding area.
The final planning committee of the year will be taking place on Wednesday (December 19).
