Controversial Home Extension in Solihull Approved Despite Neighbors' Outrage
A homeowner in Solihull accused of deceiving councillors can keep their controversial home extension, despite objections from neighbors. The extension, initially rejected by the council, was approved on appeal by a planning inspector. The decision overrides the council's concerns about the extension's impact on the neighborhood.
A controversial home extension in Wellsford Avenue, Solihull, described as 'the worst' by a councillor, has been allowed to remain despite objections from neighbors. The decision came after an appeal overturned the council's rejection of a retrospective planning application, with the applicant accused of deceiving the council.
The original plans for the extension were approved in April 2024 but faced scrutiny due to errors in the building work. Residents and council members expressed disappointment with the project, with one calling it 'possibly the worst' seen in years.
Despite the council's initial rejection, a government inspector granted planning permission after a site visit. The inspector noted that the proposed extension would not significantly impact neighboring properties and should be allowed to proceed.
