Neighbors moved the garden gym home and moved the entire family to…and then added an extra layer to their garage

A quiet residents on Cul-De-Sac said their lives were ridiculed by the out-of-control landlords.

Over the past six months, a landlord’s “gym” program in the garden has led to a family, minus an appropriate address, moving into a studio apartment.

Now, his neighbor is building a two-story structure, he told the local council that he is using a single-story garage.

“It’s just ridiculous,” said auditor Jay Hussain.

“It has always been a quiet street, and now the turning circle at the end of the road is so full of rubble and cars that the bin trucks cannot turn. ”

Brookhouse Road leads to the busy Birmingham Road, which is connected to the sidewalk, so the problem has emerged.

Back to Brookhouse Road, the three-story Victorian terraces were transformed into houses of multiple occupations (HMO) or independent apartments.

And, locals say landlords can’t stop tucking people in and running rings around local planners.

Mr Hussein has sent many emails to the Council complaining about the violation of the agreed plan, saying: “We are all in a wit.

“At best, it feels like the council doesn’t care, and at worst, they’re corruption.”

The problem began when planning a property that built a gym in its terraced garden, which contained five separate apartments.

“We all think that you have a big gym in your back garden,” said 47-year-old manufacturer Asadul Haque.

‘Now it has a family. We have provided us with furniture. They act like part of our path.

Now, the landlord is Mr. A Ali, who has proposed a “retrospective” plan to change the existing outbuilding to a “detached residence”.

Jenny Smith, 81, moved in with her husband, Ken, husband Ken, and their two little kids, and said in 1980: “The road is lovely. It’s always quiet and our kids are playing in the streets.

“You can count on the number of cars you see in the day on the one hand, but everything changes.

‘The two-car garage on the Birmingham Road property has become the development site.

“We had a bag of garbage lying around before Christmas and the workers didn’t know where to put the car.

“The turning ring is no longer free for fire trucks and warehouse trucks, etc.”

Plans for replacing the garage, workshop and home office show a flat roof, but residents can see the stairs and pitching roof.

Mr Hussein added: “The Walsol Parliament is developing a situation where you can break the planning rules and get rid of it.

“It seems that the Council is just not interested in what residents say.

“I don’t understand how they make CEOs at £200,000, and plan directors to continuously raise the council tax every year.

“Their lack of action is undermining very satisfying, community mix.”

The latest letter sent by residents to the council accused them of “biased” and turned to real estate developers.

It reads: “We have been reporting on our growing concerns about the property owners who have continued to build an outbuilding at the end of his garden in a way that is clearly in violation of the council approved plans.

“He misled the Planning Department in his description of the structure to ensure the plan was approved.

“The single-story garage and workshop described as approved has now evolved into a two-story building that can be used as a living space to expand its existing HMO. ”

The letter continues: “This behavior is creating the risk of setting precedents in boroughs that regulate planning violations, which is now crystallizing on our streets.

“253 owners are continuing to work to understand that the Council is weak and will not take action.

“The owner of 255 now has a second chance to submit a new plan for the current studio apartment (his original approved plan).

“The harmful effects of out-of-control HMO/self-contained accommodation have been evident on this road and our residents will not allow this or other landlords to endanger our safety, safety and community well-being.”

A Walsol Council spokesman said: “We are continuing to investigate matters raised by residents and provide many detailed responses to the process followed, including the formal complaint process now concluded.

“The national planning system allows for the submission of retrospective planning applications and it is our responsibility to determine what is before us.

“We are also maintaining communication with the owners of the property in question in order to resolve any outstanding things they belong to our available powers.

“Our program, road, housing standards and community conservation teams take a cross-service approach, providing residents with a comprehensive standpoint and updates on all matters.

“Although the Council officials reviewed the complaint and visited the location, we have become clear about the issues we currently do not have enough evidence to take any action, i.e. traffic and parking issues and anti-social behavior.

“Where appropriate circumstances, evidence will continue to be collected to inform any next step or necessary review of the matter raised.”
