Why it was refused

  1. The design of the proposed two storey front, first floor rear and single storey forward extensions would be out of keeping with the design, character and appearance of the existing house and street scene. As such, it 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 size of the proposed two storey rear extension would be out of scale with the existing house and would dominate its appearance. As such it 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.

From the council's decision notice.
