Why it was refused

  1. The proposed conversion would result in poor quality residential accommodation by reason of inadequate levels of natural light and outlook to the bedrooms, which would directly face a boundary fence at a distance of approximately 0.6 metres. Furthermore, the bedrooms would fail to provide adequate internal floor space and insufficient private amenity space would be provided for future occupiers. In addition, the application fails to demonstrate that the proposed accommodation would achieve the required minimum 2.3m floor-to-ceiling height. Collectively, these deficiencies would result in an unsatisfactory living environment and the development would fail to secure a high standard of residential amenity for future occupiers. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to the Birmingham Design Guide SPD (2022), Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan (2017), Policies DM2 and DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham DPD (2021), and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
