Why it was refused

  1. The development fails to provide sufficient on-site parking to meet the increased demand arising from the proposed use. As a result, vehicles would be displaced onto the surrounding highway network, which already experiences high levels of parking pressure. This would lead to increased indiscriminate on-street parking which may potentially have a detrimental impact on highway and pedestrian safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DM14 and DM15 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document 2021, the Birmingham Parking SPD 2021, and the National Planning Policy Framework 2025.

From the council's decision notice.
