Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey and single storey rear extensions do not comply with the 45 Degree Code for House Extensions and would lead to a loss of outlook and light to No. 52 Warren Hill Road. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2017, Birmingham Design Guide SPD 2022, Policies DM2 and DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD 2021 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The design of the proposed gable roof extension, two storey side and rear extension 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 apperance of the pair of semi- detached properties and forward street scene. 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.
  3. The size of the proposed gable roof extension to the host property and associated two storey side and rear extension, rear dormer and single storey rear extension 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.
