  • 2.0 miles to Solihull Town Centre

The site is situated on the edge of the affluent Catherine-de-Barnes, between Solihull and Birmingham International Airport. Solihull is the largest town within the Metropolitan Borough of the same name and together with Birmingham form a major part of the West Midlands conurbation, the UK’s second most populated urban area.

The town is one of the most prosperous in the region and has seen a boom in population. This growth is due to a number of factors including the continual expansion of Birmingham International Airport and, perhaps most significantly, the release of large tracts of land for housing development attracting inward migration of residents from across the UK.

Students are also attracted to the area with five universities close to Solihull; three in Birmingham and two in Coventry. Solihull offers a variety of shopping facilities and the town has undergone much development in recent years.

The Birmingham NEC, lies within the borough of Solihull, as does Birmingham International Airport and the ever-expanding, newly developed Birmingham Business Park.

Birmingham is the UK’s second largest retail centre, with the country’s busiest shopping centre – the Bullring. The city has seen economic growth greater than the national average attracting commuters from surrounding areas. Much of the city has been regenerated in recent years.

The Big City Plan is a large redevelopment plan currently underway in the city centre with the aim of regenerating Birmingham making it one of the top 20 most liveable cities in the world within 20 years. This ambitious plan will increase the city centre area fivefold and provide 60,000 new homes.

Complementing Birmingham, the large and heavily populated cities of Coventry and Leamington Spa can both be found within 13 miles. Major improvements continue to regenerate the city of Coventry with more developments planned. Leamington Spa is a modern town and one of the largest in the county. The spending-power of its wealthy residents led to the development of Leamington as a popular place for shopping and it has seen a strong growth in population over the years.

These major urban areas and numerous other towns and villages can easily be reached through a superb network of local transport links and infrastructure.

A number of main roads pass through Solihull including the A41 and A45 trunk roads. The A41 connects the site to London. The A45 is a major road that runs east from Birmingham, though Solihull connecting with the M42 through to Rugby and Northampton.

The M42 and M40 both pass through Solihull and provide very rapid links to London and to the rest of the motorway network surrounding the West Midlands, including the M6 that runs from the M1 via Birmingham to Manchester.

Birmingham International railway station is located on the West Coast Main Line and serves both Birmingham International Airport and the NEC. Lying next to the M42, it is just over a mile from the site and offers frequent express connections to Birmingham City Centre in 10 minutes and to London in just over an hour.

The new “Birmingham Interchange” station is proposed to be built on the other side of the M42 motorway. This station will be on the High Speed Two railway line, which is expected to be completed in 2026. The HS2 is a proposed British high-speed railway serving the Midlands and the North West with a “Y” shaped route from London to Birmingham and then two spurs, one to Manchester and the other to Leeds.

Proposed journey times to London would be reduced to an estimated 40 minutes and the HS2 would extend Birmingham’s catchment area further into London and the South East, and even Kent would be less than an hour away.

The HS2 will be the equivalent of placing Birmingham in ‘Zone 4’ of the London Tube Map.
