Why it was refused
- The design, scale and siting of the proposed detached outbuilding would be out of keeping with the design, character and appearance of the existing house and street scene and would appear as an unduly incongruous structure. 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.
