Why it was refused

  1. The size of the proposed extensions would be significantly out of scale with the existing structure, would be excessive and engulf the existing building, would be highly dominant in appearance and would no longer be viewed as an ancillary building. 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 scale, massing and design of the proposed development would be unduly dominant, would stand as a prominent building which would be detracting from the main dwellinghouse and would harmfully affect the visual amenity of the street scene and the character of the Sutton Coldfield Green Belt setting. As such it would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 and the National Planning Policy Framework
  3. The proposed resulting building by reasons of its size, layout and level of accommodation would constitute as an over-intensive use which would no longer be deemed as an ancillary building and would instead be more akin to self-contained independent accommodation. As such, the proposal 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.
