Planning application
153 Danford Lane Solihull B91 1QQ
Works: Loft or dormer Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Convert existing detached garage/outbuilding within the rear curtilage of the dwelling into a fully insulated ancillary annex for purposes incidental to the main dwellinghouse. The development retains the existing building footprint and includes the replacement of the existing roof with a mansard form pitched at approximately 55 degrees. The proposal introduces a modest rear dormer, front roof light, and a flat roof light at the crown to provide natural daylight and a compliant means of escape from the mezzanine level. Internally, the ground floor will comprise an open plan living and kitchen area, with a mezzanine level providing a bedroom and en suite shower room. The layout is designed to provide adaptable accommodation suitable for family members, including those with mobility needs. The annex will remain ancillary to the main dwelling and will not form a separate planning unit. There is no separate curtilage, all services and utilities are shared with the host dwelling, and there is no independent access from the public highway. Access is provided solely within the residential curtilage for safety and fire compliance.

About householder applications
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden, such as extensions, lofts and outbuildings, and cannot create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. More in our guide to planning application types.
