Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The dormer dominates the roofscape, significantly exceeds the height of the existing outrigger, occupies almost the whole rear roof slope, and appears incongruous from the street, thereby harming the character and appearance of the surrounding area in conflict with Policy PG3.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan, adopted 2017

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
