Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient Information has been submitted to enable the Local Planning Authority to undertake reasonable assessment of the proposed developments impact on conservation area trees. Consequently the Local Planning Authority are unable to determine the developments accordance with policy DM4 of the Birmingham DPD 2021 and conclude harm is caused.
  2. The proposed boundary treatment by virtue of its scale/design/siting would represent an unduly obtrusive feature that is out of character with the existing dwelling/streetscene. As such it would have a harmful impact on the visual amenity of the area and would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022, and Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 the National Planning Policy Framework. 2 The scale/design of the proposed development by virtue of scale/design/siting would not preserve or enhance the character of the St Agnes Conservation Area. As such it would be contrary to Policies PG3 and TP12 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
