- The design of the proposed extensions would be out of keeping with the existing character of the street scene and as such would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022, and Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The size of the proposed two storey side extensions and rear dormer windows would be out of scale with the existing house and would dominate its appearance.
