Why it was refused

  1. The existing marquee was allowed on appeal for a temporary period of 12 months which expired on 22nd January 2025. This appeal ref: APP/Q4625/C/23/3316197 was considered during the Covid pandemic, where due to other legislation 2m distancing was required between individuals. During the pandemic therefore the marquee was considered as having a capacity of 50 persons only. Since the pandemic ended users of the marquee have tripled. Therefore, having regard to its siting, scale, appearance and the frequency and intensity of its use throughout the year, constitutes an inappropriate and visually intrusive form of development which would fail to conserve or enhance the established character, distinctiveness and streetscape quality of the area. In addition, the regular daily use of the marquee, together with the associated level of activity, comings and goings and disturbance, results in unacceptable harm to the living conditions and residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers. The development would therefore be contrary to Policies P14 and P15 of the Solihull Local Plan 2013 and the relevant design and amenity provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
