Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the city's stock of family sized housing
The character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by resulting in the loss of family-sized housing for which there is identified undersupply and need in the city, and the extensions would harmfully affect the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.

Framework references: 62

Plan policies cited: Policy TP35 of the Birmingham Development Plan (2017), Policy DM12 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document (2021), Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan (2017)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
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.
