Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of a Biodiversity Survey and Report, a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) and a Preliminary Bat Roost and Nesting Bird Assessment (PBRNBA), it is not possible to fully assess the ecological impact of the proposal on protected species. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies TP2, TP3, TP8 and TP28 of the Birmingham Development Plan, Policies DM2 and DM4 of the Development Management in Birmingham (DPD), Design Principle 9 of the Birmingham Design Guide (SPD) and Chapter 15 (conserving and enhancing the natural environment) of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed development would create a dwelling which would not follow local vernacular and result in a poorly designed addition to the existing street-scene. As such the proposals are considered to have a detrimental impact upon the visual amenity of the existing surrounding area. The proposals are thus contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan (2017), the Birmingham Design Guide (2022) and the National Planning Policy Framework
  3. The proposed dwelling, by way of the resultant plot sizes and its detached form, would be out of character with the existing dwellinghouses located along Saltley Cottages and as such would result in an inappropriate and incongruous addition to the street-scene, to the detriment of the visual amenity of the wider area. As such the proposal would be seen as unacceptable and contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan (2017), the Birmingham Design Guide (2022) and the National Planning Policy Framework
