Why it was refused

  1. The proposal lies outside the boundaries of any local centre and no justification, i.e. a sequential assessment has been provided in support of the proposed use in this location. As such the proposed development would be contrary to Policy TP21 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. Insufficient information has been submitted to determine whether the parking, servicing and manoeuvring facilities proposed are adequate and therefore it has not been demonstrated whether the proposal would lead to a detrimental impact on pedestrian and highway safety on the adjacent road. As such it would be contrary to Policies PG3 and TP44 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policies DM14 and DM15 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021, Design Principle 3 of the Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
