About this application
This is a planning application for a rear extension at Priorsgate 100 Birchy Close Dickens Heath Solihull B90 1QL. Solihull has handled 8,359 applications of this type. This one was decided in 28 days, 4 weeks quicker than Solihull's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There have been 5 other applications at this address. In the past year there have been 103 applications across Blythe. We hold 1,440 applications in total for the B90 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The submitted application contains materially conflicting information regarding the maximum height of the proposed enlargement. The written description submitted pursuant to paragraph A.4(2)(a) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) states that the maximum height of the enlargement would be 3.0 metres, whereas the submitted drawings indicate a maximum height of approximately 3.75 metres. Consequently, insufficient and inconsistent information has been provided to enable the Local Planning Authority to establish with certainty the development for which prior approval is sought and whether it complies with the conditions, limitations and restrictions applicable to development permitted by Class A. The application is therefore refused in accordance with paragraph A.4(3)(b) of Schedule 2, Part 1 of the Order.
From the council's decision notice.
