Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on bats
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether suitable living conditions would be created for future occupants, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space, light and outlook, overlooking and privacy
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to the potential for overlooking or loss of privacy at 606 Warwick Road and 5 and 7 Manor Farm Road
- The potential for crime and anti-social behaviour
- The effect on highway safety, with particular regard to on-street parking demand
What decided it
The absence of adequate bat survey information to assess potential impacts on protected species, creating a conflict with Policy TP8 of the Birmingham Development Plan that could not be outweighed by the housing benefits.
Plan policies cited: Policy TP8, Policy PG3, Policy TP27, Policy TP28, Policy TP39, Policy TP44, Policy DM2, Policy DM10, Policy DM13, Policy DM14, Policy DM15
