®Planning appeal decision
202 Warwick Road, Springfield, BIRMINGHAM, B11 2NB
The project consists of single-story side and rear extensions, as well as the installation of an external staircase. The property has two levels; the ground floor will be used for the company's eye centre, while the flat upstairs will be a one-bedroom flat. The existing flat currently has access from the shop area, but the owner wishes to install an external staircase in the back area to provide independent access for the flat

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 200 Warwick Road, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposal would create adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, light, provision of private amenity space and safety
What decided it
The combination of harmful impacts on character and appearance, unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of outlook and privacy, and failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers regarding light, amenity space and safety access.
