Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey rear extension does not comply with the 45 degree code and would lead to a loss of outlook and light to No.25 and No.29 Wychbury 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.
  2. The design of the proposed two storey rear extension would be out of keeping with the design, character and appearance of the existing house and as such 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.
