Why it was refused

  1. The proposal does not comply with the 45 degree code and would lead to a loss of outlook and light to 2168a Coventry Road. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Policy 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.
