Proposal

Retrospective planning application for amendments to the two storey side extensions previously approved under planning permission PL/2025/00350/MINFHO. The application seeks to regularise the development as built, which differs from the approved drawings and details, and to obtain retrospective planning permission for the works undertaken.

About this application

This is a planning application for an extension at 56 Hemlingford Road Kingshurst Solihull B37 6DH. Solihull has handled 8,362 applications of this type. This one was decided in 52 days, 4 days quicker than Solihull's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 96 applications in total for the B37 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two-storey side extension, by virtue of its tapered form which follows the alignment of the side boundary rather than remaining parallel with the host dwelling, would result in an awkward and poor addition which fails to respect the existing dwelling. The resultant extension would appear as an incongruous addition to the dwelling, contrary to the design principles contained within the SPD and Policy P15 of the Solihull Local Plan 2013 along with the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
