Residents of Bonneville Close, Millisons Wood, near Coventry, voiced strong objections after homeowner Lilian McGrath sought permission to build a single-storey rear extension in March. Six local objections raised during the public consultation led the issue to be reviewed by Solihull Council’s planning committee. Neighbour Richard Pittock spoke on behalf of concerned residents, accusing the applicant of using the extension as a “trojan horse” to support an unpermitted commercial letting business that, he argued, undermines the residential character of their quiet street.
