Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Jones L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents in terms of outlook and light
Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to achieve the purpose
Whether the time given to comply with the requirements of the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The appeal development has an unacceptably harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to loss of light and outlook, conflicting with development plan policies and the 45 Degree Code.

Plan policies cited: Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2031 (2017), Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document (2021), Policy DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document (2021)

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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
