Authority: Birmingham City Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice

Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Naylor R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions for existing occupiers with specific regard to standard of accommodation
The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties with specific regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers due to significant shortfalls in internal floor space against nationally described space standards and inadequate external amenity space, conflicting with development plan policies and the Framework.

Plan policies cited: Policy PG3, Policy TP27, Policy DM10, Policy DM2, Policy DM6

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.

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.
