Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormer window, by reason of its excessive scale, bulk and massing would form an overly dominant and visually intrusive addition that fails to integrate with the proportions, character and established roofscape of the host property. As such the development would fail to respond positively to its context. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan, Paragraph 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework, and the design principles set out within the Birmingham Design Guide SPD.
  2. The proposed development fails to comply with the 45-degree code and would lead to a loss of light and outlook to the ground floor rear habitable window at 1376 Coventry Road. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policies DM2 and DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022 and the National Planning Policy Framework

From the council's decision notice.
