Why it was refused

  1. Inadequate private amenity space, refuse space provision and cycle storage provision is proposed and as such the proposal would be contrary to Policies PG3, TP13 and TP27 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 scheme would be an over intensive form of development which would provide a poor standard of internal accomodation, inadequate natural light provision to the habitable rooms and would provide a poor outlook for future occupants. Furthermore, no section plans for the proposed second floor bedroom have been submitted to demonstrate a minimum floor to ceiling height of 2.3m for at least 75% of the gross internal area of the proposed first floor. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policy DM2 and DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021, City Note LW-11 Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  3. The proposal does not comply with the 45 degree code and would lead to a loss of outlook and light and overshadowing to the rear habitable windows of No. 95 Crompton Road. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policy DM2 and DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
