At Solihull Council’s planning committee meeting, the application to convert a three-bedroom family house on Windsor Drive into a home for two children aged between five and 17 was approved. The applicant, Kamran Ali Rasool, planned for two staff members to work in shifts alongside a registered manager. During the public consultation, six local residents objected, citing worries about the impact on the neighborhood’s character, highway safety, and the loss of a family dwelling.
