Why it was refused

  1. The proposed children's care home for reason of its size and use, would have an unacceptable impact on the character of the area and residential amenity by way of causing increased noise and disturbance. Furthermore, staff overnight accommodation is proposed within a single sized bedroom, this would be inadequate to accommodate the two carers staying overnight and therefore the scheme fails to provide an adequate standard of amenity for future occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy P14(i) of the Solihull Local Plan.
  2. The application property, No.27 Dene Court Road proposes 3No. car parking places on the front driveway. There is an existing street light located on the public highway that prevents more than one car manoeuvring on and off the private drive. The proposal therefore fails to provide a safe access and is contrary to Policy P8 of the Solihull Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
