Refused against officer recommendation for the following reasons:-
(1) The proposed development creates an over intensive use of the site, harmful to the living conditions and quiet enjoyment of residents living at the adjoining house, surrounding area and for residents within the property itself, for reasons of noise, disturbance and comings and goings. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy P14 of the Solihull Local Plan 2013.
(2) The proposed development provides insufficient off-street car parking for the amount of development proposed and therefore has a significant harmful impact on highway safety and free flow so conflicts with Policy P8 of the Solihull Local Plan 2013.
Mr Raymond Flint and Councillor Chris Williams spoke against the application whilst Mr Iain Garbett spoke in support.
