Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties, Nos.63 and 67 Cliveden Avenue with regard to light and outlook
- the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The rear extension would not significantly harm outlook or result in material loss of light to neighbours due to existing relationships and limited height, and the front extension would not unbalance the semi-detached pair or harm the character of the area given the existing variation in porch designs.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 2031Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document 2021Policy DM10 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document 2021
