The historic Dunlop Motorsport factory - which closed last year after more than a century - is set to become a car park.
The plant after it was bought by rapidly expanding Jaguar Land Rover.
Now, the car giant has put in plans for the land to be converted into a temporary multi-storey car park.

JLR said the plans were part of wider work at the plant to "consolidate its manufacturing operations and deliver new facilities" including a new storage and logistics centre.
Erdington MP Jack Dromey said, while he was disappointed the land would no longer be used for production, it would feed into wider expansion at JLR.
He said: "The site has a remarkable history and Goodyear Dunlop were wrong to tear up a century of manufacturing history but Jaguar Land Rover is rapidly expanding and taking on thousands of workers which generates huge pressures on car parking.
"I know local residents and retailers have complained about this. I still get a twinge when I think that site will no longer be used exclusively for manufacturing but there is no alternative in the circumstances."
The car park will house 300 'work in progress' (WIP) vehicles awaiting final quality checks.

The plans state: "JLR has an urgent requirement for additional storage for WIP vehicles. A temporary car park on the northern part of the former Dunlop Motorsports site is proposed for a period of two years.
"Use of the site for the storage of products manufactured within the wider plant is considered an appropriate use and, since the proposals will not generate any trips on the external road network, it is considered there are no transport grounds on which to refuse this application."
The old plant and technical centre had been razed to following an application to Birmingham City Council.
Dunlop had produced tyres at the plant, in Ashold Farm Road, for 125 years and its closure marked the end of manufacturing in Birmingham for the iconic brand.
Goodyear Dunlop will cease production in the West Midlands entirely likely to be by January 2017.
