This Marquee that to my knowledge has been up since 2020 when I visited for afternoon tea and a huge wedding was on and from that day to this the Marquee is a permanent and. Ever taken down it is an eyesore does not fit in with the age of either the Hall or Gardens the walk from the entrance of the gardens along the walkway that goes passed this you also get piles of chairs beer barrels etc an eyesore as well as the building to anyone walking round the gardens on various occasions I have visited the gardens music from this venue spoils the peace and tranquility of the gardens the music is very loud the gardens are as they were originally intended a place of quite peace and calm yes avents at both locations are ones that have to consider both parties.
Solihull Council planning department have in reality known of the existence of this Marquee since 2019 so should have dealt with the fact that it did not have planning permission to operate this aforementioned venue.
The gardens are for most of us a peaceful safe and restful place to be
I hope that another or even this monstrous building is solid to remain to blight these historical buildings and gardens

Having been to various events in the garden only to have to listen to loud music coming from this Temporary six year old Marguee which spoils the peace and quietness the gardens offer in an otherwise noisy busy world we live in the structure is an eyesore as you walk along the gardens in front of the house towards the exit of the gardens only to walk past piles of chairs etc that can’t be hidden by the hedge and the out of character large marguee it does not add to the atmosphere of either venues it is an eyesore the Council know if this building why have they not had it removed until what can if at all be put in its place be properly approved
The gardens and there tranquility help all who visit in many ways let’s keep it this way

In reply to Diane Gordon.

Thanks for your comment Diane, and we echo the sentiment that it is a blight. Just to be clear – the planning application they are applying for is for the Marquee that is already up- it has NEVER had permission! It has been an illegal building for the last 6 years! I dread to think whether they have had insurance on an illegal building: I fear for the people who have used it if they werent adequatley insured.
What is sad and makes us angry, is that the owners are prepared to do things whether or not they have had permission. All of us here want to do things properly for the whole of the Conservation Area but we cant see how that attitude helps.

I am disappointed to hear of this new Marque Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel want to erect. This will be a blight on this beautiful building. I enjoy the peace, nature and open space of Castle bromwich Hall gardens. I do not wish to see a monstrosity of another huge marquee, which will undoubtedly create a large number of people to decend up on it both day and night. Shattering my peaceful place. It is in the best interests of the gardens historical past,and the people who use the gardens. That I oppose the marquee. Let’s keep what little wildlife we have left, and stop disturbing their habitat by noise pollution ect.
