Residents in Solihull expressed concerns over a proposed two-storey side extension that could compromise privacy and the character of their neighborhood, but the planning committee approved it, emphasizing that it wouldn’t become a separate dwelling. In Castle Cary, a long-delayed redevelopment plan for 81 homes on a brownfield site has finally received approval, overcoming previous refusals and legal challenges. Meanwhile, a proposed development of 425 new homes in March has garnered objections from locals worried about traffic increases and the impact on local amenities, yet it has been recommended for approval. Additionally, 540 new homes and a medical center have been greenlit in Soham, despite fears of habitat loss, with assurances of investment in local commons. Lastly, a home in Solihull was permitted for extension amidst fears it might become a house of multiple occupancy, though planners noted the revised plans addressed previous concerns.
