Why it was refused

  1. The scale/design of the proposed development by virtue of design, scale and form would not preserve or enhance the character of the School Road Hall Green Conservation Area. As such it would be contrary to Policies PG3 and TP12 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, the School Road Hall Green Conservation Area Character Appraisal Supplementary Planning Guidance and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The design of the proposed two-storey side and single-storey rear extension would be out of keeping with the design/character/appearance of the existing house and 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.
  3. The design of the proposed two-storey side and single-storey rear extension would be out of keeping with the existing character of the street scene and as such would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022, and Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 the National Planning Policy Framework.
  4. The size, massing and design of the proposed rear dormer window and hip-to-gable extenson is considered to be out of scale with the host dwelling and dominates both its appearance and the surrounding propertiest. As such it would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 and the National Planning Policy Framework
