Why it was refused

  1. The design of the proposed hip to gable roof conversion and rear dormer would be out of keeping with the design, character and appearance of the existing house and would have a detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the pair of semi-detached properties. 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 size of the proposed hip to gable roof conversion and rear dormer would be out of scale with the existing house and would dominate its appearance/the street scene. 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.

From the council's decision notice.
