11 Birmingham planning applications including Sutton Coldfield, Harborne & Acocks Green

Changes to your local area can alter where you live in sometimes major ways. Many alterations, whether an extension to a neighbour’s house or the construction of a new housing estate begin life as a planning application.

These official documents can be dry and make for difficult bedtime reading. But they shed light on the plans in your area, and vitally you can have a say if you wish to object, or suggest alterations.

These applications can be found in detail on your local authority’s website – here in the case of Birmingham City Council – or you can see them at a glance on the Public Notice Portal. The portal also allows you to see applications for alcohol licences, road traffic notices around closures, diversions, or layout changes. All could play a vital part in how you go about your day-to-day lives. 

Below we have a selection of planning applications submitted to Birmingham City Council in the week of October 8 to October 14 – the latest set of applications available to view.
