Detached dwelling at Hogs End Farmhouse, Hogs End Farm, Coventry
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Coventry Planning Committee on 25 Jun 2026.
What was proposed
The application proposed a detached dwelling on Plot 2, with three floors, amenity space, two parking spaces and bin storage.
“The property will include amenity space, two parking spaces and bin storage.”
Officer report
The site
The site is in the Green Belt, reached by a private farm track, and was formerly occupied by agricultural buildings screened by planting.
“SITE DESCRIPTION The application site is located within the Green Belt, accessed via a private farm track which is located between 260 and 262 Hawkes Mill Lane. 260 and 262 Hawkes Mill Lane are single storey dwellings. The site once used to accommodate a range of agricultural buildings which were screened from the wider public area by dense tree and shrub planting, to the point that one is not aware of the site when traversing Hawkes Mill Lane.”
Officer report
Earlier permissions
The four-dwelling scheme and Plot 2 reserved matters were previously approved, establishing the principle of development.
“The most recent outline approval OUT/2020/2762, was initially recommended for refusal and was refused by Planning Committee 11/02/2021 and was granted on appeal 31-07- 2021 (Appeal reference number APP/U4610/W/21/3269710). The proposal was to erect four dwellings and access; scale and layout was granted. Two of the houses would be located to the east of the access road and two to the west. The two pairs of dwellings would be separated by around a 2m gap.”
“Therefore, the principle of development has already been established.”
