Birmingham NEC casino given planning permission
Planning permission has been granted for a £120m casino complex on land at the NEC in Birmingham.
The decision was made by Solihull Council which had already granted a large casino premises licence to developers last year.
A hotel, spa, multi-screen cinema, conference and banqueting centre, and designer shopping outlets have also been proposed for the site.
Genting UK said it will create more than 1,100 full-time equivalent jobs.
The company, which trades as Genting Casinos, said it anticipated it would take up to two years to construct the venue.
