Read MoreA Stirchley leisure centre caught up in a controversial planning application by supermarket chain Lidl is being forced to close.
We asked you on social media - do residents' views count when it comes to planning matters?
Adrian Stanley, external: "Council don't listen to residents... look up the road in Northfield where people wanted the beautiful swimming baths frontage incorporated into the new plan but they just went ahead and smashed it down. Stirchley is a massive traffic jam but council wouldn't listen when they messed up the roads."
Tracy Edgington, external: "Disgusting this gym is so busy we are one big family. No one wants it to close."
Steven Malam, external: "With any such planning, by the time the public get to hear about it the council have already decided what's going to happen."
Gregory Ralph , externalsaid: "Just what Brum needs, another supermarket!!!!!!!"
Richard Wilkinson, external added: "Let's just hope that planning is still never granted and Lidl end up with a very expensive piece of land that they can do nothing with."

Do you know someone who ran the London Marathon yesterday or maybe you ran it yourself?
You can watch a feed of the finish line, showing everyone who finished between 2hrs 30mins and 6hrs.
Find out their time and you can catch the moment they crossed the line.
From tears of joy, limping over the line, through to some rather tired faces - watch six hours (or skip forward) and see friends/family/loved ones cross the finish line via the BBC iPlayer.

From tomorrow some London Midland passengers will be able to make use what's claimed to be one of the first ever free on-board entertainment system.
It doesn't come via a screen on the back of seats, but through tablet computers and smart phones.
It's all part of the long awaited introduction of a wifi system on the operator's trains.
For people who just want to work there's also free wifi.
But London Midland is pretty late in the game with on board wifi. Virgin Trains has had it for years, but it's only free in first class and it's a similar picture on board with Cross Country trains.
Both Chiltern Railways and Arriva Trains Wales allows free access to all of their customers.
The new train entertainment system will be available on all London Midland long-distance routes and some local services, including all trains on Birmingham's cross city line.

Lucy was raising money for Guide Dogs UK.

Free parking is being offered by a council as a way to get more people shopping on the high street.
From today, if you're visiting Sedgley, Dudley, Brierley Hill and Halesowen you could park for up to two hours for free.
The trial will run until the 2 July at 16 car parks across the four areas.
Drivers will still need to get a ticket from the machine but it won't cost them a penny.
Quote MessageSome of our residents and traders have expressed a belief that reduced parking charges could help to boost trade here in Dudley borough. The two-hour free parking scheme trial is being piloted in different types of retail centres across the borough and we are keen to see how this could affect the numbers of shoppers coming into the areas."
