Plans have been submitted to construct a glass conference centre on the roof of the highly visible Fort Dunlop building overlooking the M6 motorway in Birmingham.

Plans include a proposed glass structure on the roof enabling users to make the most of the views. Plans also include new kitchens, outdoor seating and a landscaped area.

Fort Dunlop is now a mixed-use development but once formed part of the world’s largest factory, employing 10,000 workers. The conference centre proposals have been submitted to Birmingham City Council. Currently there is a Travelodge on a section of the Fort Dunlop site.
