Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension does not comply with the 45 Degree Code for House Extensions and would lead to a loss of outlook and light to 95 Horse Shoes Lane. 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.

From the council's decision notice.
