Residents from the Brookshaw Glades estate, Tipton, are angry about a new huge warehouse that is being built next to their houses

Homeowners on the Brookshaw Glades estate in Tipton have raised concerns over the building noise and height of a new warehouse development in their area.

The homeowners were shocked when the building started being erected in 2016, with residents saying that they had not been consulted over its construction.

One resident, Karen Kang, said: "All of us here at the Brookshaw Glades estate are absolutely disappointed and appalled by Sandwell Council's communication with its residents.

"This is a huge warehouse that is being build right behind us and we weren't told. Most of us only found out when the demolitions started. Apparently they sent around 135 letters, they said that was an opportunity to reject it, but none of us actually got a letter."
