About this application
This is a planning application for a rear extension at 43 Elmfield Road Castle Bromwich Solihull B36 0HN. Solihull has handled 8,359 applications of this type. This one was decided in 44 days, 12 days quicker than Solihull's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There have been 2 other applications at this address. In the past year there have been 68 applications across Castle Bromwich. We hold 374 applications in total for the B36 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed development by reason of its bulk, scale and design would not respect the character of the original dwelling resulting in a discordant structure that detracts from the visual amenity of the application property, unbalances the symmetry between the pair of semi-detached houses, and appears as an incongruous addition to the street scene. Therefore, the development would be contrary to Policy P15 of the Solihull Local Plan, House Extension Guidelines SPD 2010 and the relevant policies of the NPPF 2026.
From the council's decision notice.
