New homes plan for former police station

A plan to demolish Shirley Police Station on Stratford Road and build 32 homes in its place is set for approval, despite concerns from neighbours.

The application is scheduled to go before Solihull Council’s planning committee on Wednesday 25th April.

Proposals are for a mix of one and two-bedroom dwellings and associated car parking.

The report prepared ahead of the meeting states that the development would help “meet an identified need for small dwellings in an accessible location”.
