Planning application
Knowle And Dorridge Lawn Tennis Club Grove Road Knowle Solihull B93 0PH
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Non-material amendment sought for (1) The luminaires to be used on courts 3 and 4 only are to be changed to a Halliday Lighting fitting which will be top mounted on the column to the same height (9.7m) as the previously approved Wiseman luminaires that were underslung from the top of the column. This means that the light source will be at exactly the same vertical position as the approved lighting, (2) The location of the column in the northern corner of court 3 closest to the clubhouse has had to be relocated by approximately 2m to the south-west due to the existence of an underground service route following planning approval PL/2020/00108/PPFL.
