the change of use for the C3 dwelling on the site to a dentists surgery use on the ground floor and a self-contained apartment on the first floor

Authority: Birmingham City Council
Appeal type: other · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: change of use · Unknown
Inspector: Deane G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing
Whether the location is suitable for an expanded dental surgery
The effect of the proposal on highway safety with regard to vehicle parking
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties with reference to potential noise and general disturbance

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by resulting in the loss of a family dwelling without demonstrated social need and locating an expanded dental surgery outside a designated centre without sufficient evidence that no suitable alternative premises exist.

Plan policies cited: Policy TP35, Policy PG3, Policy TP37, Policy TP21, Policy TP24, Policy TP44

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.
