Enterprise Belt

Perhaps someone can help me? Is an Enterprise Belt a new word for a Business Park. I have a sense of Dejavu  a blast from the past and the scramble to save Green Belt Land surrounding the M42. Of course I may be wrong but it has a familar feel to it. Oh Well !

Boost M42 capacity, says LEP

Roads

Congestion on the M42 in the West Midlands has been identified as a key constraint to new economic development by the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership.

The LEP has submitted an expression of interest to ministers for an ‘Enterprise Belt’ extending from south Staffordshire through the M42 corridor in Solihull to north Worcestershire.

This would supplement the partnership’s Enterprise Zone in Birmingham city centre that was approved by ministers

For those of you that don't remember Junction 3 of the M42 its fields and gateway into Earlswood and Forshaw Heath had a long battle against plans for a 8 somethiing cant remember if it was 8, 80 or 800 hectare Business Park. Eventually they went to public enquiry and the little people won. That was a long time ago may be 20 something years. It was the reason Earlswood and Forshaw Heath Residents Association was set up in the first place. I would just be slightly Aware of these sort of announcements. It may be something or nothing but I for one will be keeping my eye on it
