Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would lead to a loss of a family dwelling for which there is an identifiable shortfall in supply of in the city. This would conflict with policies PG 3, TP 27, TP 30 and TP 35 of the adopted Birmingham Development Plan; DM 12 of the adopted Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document and the NPPF.
  2. The introduction of the proposed commercial operation into this residential road would undermine the traditional family housing residential character of this road. This would conflict with policies PG 3 of the adopted Birmingham Development Plan, policy DM 12 of the adopted Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document and the NPPF.
  3. The establishment of the proposed development on this residential road would have an adverse impact on the amenity of nearby residents by reason of noise and disturbance. For this reason, the proposed development would conflict with policies PG 3 of the adopted Birmingham Development Plan, policy DM 12 of the adopted Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document and the NPPF.
  4. No dedicated sleeping accommodation has been shown to be provided for staff to sleep over night within the premises. For this reason, the proposed development would conflict with policy PG 3 of the adopted Birmingham Development Plan, policy DM 12 and Appendix 1 of the adopted Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document, the adopted Birmingham Design Guide and the NPPF.
  5. The proposed change of use would result in a childrens care home being established within an area deemed unsuitable for such a use, given the fear of crime and the impact this would have upon the childrens wellbeing and safety. For this reason, the proposal conflicts with policies PG 3 of the adopted Birmingham Development Plan, policies DM 12 of the adopted Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document and the NPPF.
