Single-storey house extension at 58 Berkeley Road, Shirley, Solihull

“Proposal: Single storey rear/side extension.”

“Planning permission is sought for a single storey rear and side extension.”

“In addition to this the adopted House Extension Guide states that extension should be designed to integrate with the style and character of existing dwellings. The level of enhancement required is dependent on and proportionate to the scale and nature of the development. The development in this case, is a domestic householder extension for a single storey side and rear extension.”

“It is considered the proposed single storey rear and side extension would not result in any undue loss of light or cause an unacceptable impact on neighbour amenity and therefore the development is in accordance with Policy P14 of the Solihull Local Plan (2013) and the HEG SPD (2010). This would therefore carry neutral weight in the assessment and determination of this application.”

“- Boundary fence and associated structures were allegedly removed and damaged during construction works without prior agreement, creating safety concerns due to open excavations and water-filled trenches. - Concerns raised regarding repeated access to a shared drainage system via the objector's property without permission, including allegations of disturbance, health and safety risks, and a reported injury.”

“Cllr Wilson called the application to committee for determination due to her concerns relating to the terracing effect, boundary issues and drainage concerns.”

“PL/2026/00857/MINFHO - 58 BERKELEY ROAD Conditional approval as per officer recommendation.”
