Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide an acceptable living environment for future occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance, outlook, privacy and safety
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide an acceptable living environment for future occupiers due to unmitigated noise and disturbance from surrounding commercial uses and excessive overlooking of the private amenity space, contrary to local design policy and the Birmingham Design Guide SPD.
Plan policies cited: Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan (2017), Policy DM2 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document (2021), Policy DM12 of the Development Management in Birmingham Development Plan Document (2021)
