Planning Application

What this application is

This is a householder application at an existing home in Redditch proposing single-storey extension. Neighbours whose boundary adjoins the site will normally be notified in writing, and the council has an eight-week statutory target to decide the case.

Householder applications cover extensions, outbuildings, porches, garages, conservatories, loft conversions, EV chargers and similar changes to an existing single home. Councils have eight weeks to make a decision.

The applicant's own description is: Demolition of existing garage to side, erection of single storey extension to side to provide a ground floor bedroom and shower room for a disabled relative to receive full time care. The application was received by Redditch Borough Council on 17 August 2025 and is currently marked pending consideration on the council register — see what that status means.

If you want to respond

Neighbours whose boundary adjoins the property are usually notified in writing. Objections that raise material planning issues — overlooking, loss of light, scale out of keeping with the street — carry more weight than personal disputes.
