Why it was refused

The proposed single storey rear extension does not comply with the 45 degree code and would lead to a loss of outlook and light to No.29 St Marys 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.
The proposed three storey rear extension by virtue of its scale, massing and dominant gabled form, fails to appear as a subservient addition and would result in harm to the character and architectural integrity of the host dwelling. As such it would be contrary to Policies PG3 and TP12 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, the Birmingham Design Guide SPD (2022) and the National Planning Policy Framework.
The contemporary design approach of the three storey rear extension, including the use of zinc cladding, extensive glazing and simplified forms, fails to respond positively to the established material palette, detailing and architectural language of the host dwelling and the Greenfield Road Conservation Area. As such it would be contrary to Policies PG3 and TP12 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, the Birmingham Design Guide SPD (2022) and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
