PLANNERS have thrown out an application for a new house on Dennis Hall Road in Amblecote after dismissing it as ‘garden grabbing’.

The plan was a new version of an application in 2020 which had been refused.

The new proposal was for a two-bedroom detached house on land next to an existing house.

Planners ruled the property’s ‘excessive proportions’ and inadequate subdivision from the host property would result in cluttered alterations that would be detrimental to the street scene.

Meanwhile, planners at Dudley Council have been asked to approve two new homes at the end of a cul-de-sac in Kingswinford.

The application is for two semi-detached houses to be built on land next to an existing property in Honeysuckle Avenue.

The proposed new houses would be two-storey, two-bedroom homes which would be traditional in design and appearance.

Further details can be viewed in the planning section on Dudley Council’s website.
