Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of the neighbouring residential property at 114 Coney Green Drive, with particular regard to light and outlook
The effect of the development on future residents, with particular regard to the availability of suitable outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.

Plan policies cited: Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan, Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document, Places for Living Supplementary Planning Guidance

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
