Why it was refused

  1. The cumulative scale and massing of the proposals together with the previous works would be out of keeping with the design, character and appearance of the existing house and wider street scene. As such would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022, Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed extension does not comply with the 45 Degree Code for House Extensions and would lead to a loss of outlook and light to No. 20 Webb Lane. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022, Policies DM2 and DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
