Plans
to expand the exhibition, conference and corporate events capacity
at Stoneleigh Park progressed with a resolution to grant outline
planning permission from the local District Council in May 2005.
The project includes a brand new conference centre, interlinked with two new halls and the existing Hall 2. The upgraded capacity is expected to be approximately 25,000 sqm, enabling existing events to expand and major new ones to be staged.
Upgraded catering and hotel facilities are also part of the plans; and Stoneleigh Park has produced proposals to improve access and parking with the addition of a link road direct from the nearby A46 Warwick to Coventry road to the site, providing a quicker link to the M40.
The project, which aims to bring the new facilities on stream between 2009 and 2012, is to be phased, ensuring no loss of capacity during the build.
