Why it was refused

  1. The proposed amendments would result in a reduction in the quality of the approved design. This represents a deterioration from the standard previously accepted and is therefore considered unacceptable. The proposal is contrary to the Design Principle 26 of the Birmingham Design Guide (BDG) and paragraph 140 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which requires that development maintains high-quality design, and which seeks to protect and secure design quality throughout the development process.

From the council's decision notice.
