Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient quality private amenity space is proposed to serve the occupants of the dwelling in terms of quality usable space for the enjoyment of future residents. As such, would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the adopted Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policies DM2 and DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021, City Note LW-13 of the Birmingham Design Guide 2022 or the objectives of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
