A £95 million car park which will be built as part of the new HS2 Interchange station in Solihull has been given the green light. The nine-storey facility will contain 4,000 spaces, including 400 electric vehicle charging points, connected-autonomous vehicles and a 'mobility hub' featuring cycle and scooter hire.
There will also be an additional 500 surface-level parking spaces which could be turned into a second, 3,000-space, multi-storey car park if required in the future.
The original plans for that site contained proposals for a surface-level car park with 7,500 space but these have since been revised to the multi-storey building, therefore freeing up 74 acres of land for alternative development projects.
