Just an Idea
As the traffic levels have increased, is it worth looking at establishing different Holding Areas within the CTA to cater for differentiated STARS for CAT1/2 and CAT 3 equipped/crew validated aircraft. (not just Brum by the way).
I bet this is going to be unpopular; Airspace limitations, ATC complexity issues etc (lots !) ; but last night's complications illustrate a capacity problem re organisation of controlled Airspace around this airfield and Brum is not that big yet.
Luton & Stansted "seem" as stated earlier,to have services predominantly provided by B738 & Airbus; a relatively homogeneous selection of equipment. Economics of course.
I bet the situation applies more widely: Do the likes of MAN,FRA or AMS have differential routings for aircraft related to landing minima. (LHR is not typical of what I have in mind - Minimum size of traffic.)
CAT III

Reason: STARS
