Planning committee

Decided by Birmingham Planning and Placemaking Committee on 8 Jul 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the proposal complied with the Development Plan and no material considerations outweighed it.
  • The community council and residents raised concerns about conservation, access, flooding, wildlife, design and demand, while others supported local economic benefits.
  • The committee voted 8–2 to refuse because the design and layout failed to preserve or enhance the conservation area.
