Link to Documents 1.12. Site area: 0.5Ha. Density: 10 dwellings per hectare. 2. Site & Surroundings 2.1. The application site is located in a wholly residential area of Kings Norton, fronting onto Rednal Road. At present there is one detached dwelling in large spacious grounds located at 42 Rednal Road. There has been some residential 'infill' development in this area - noticeably opposite the site at Norton Gate (allowed at appeal) and 20-24 Rednal Road although there was already a dwelling to the rear of the site. Rednal Road is a moderately busy road. The surrounding area is characterised large detached houses with spacious gardens and can be seen as a green and leafy mature suburban area. The site varys in levels and sits higher than Rednal Road to the front and higher than Beaks Hill Road to the rear but slopes down towards Beaks Hill Road through the application site. Existing trees and vegetation screen the site along its boundaries with denser cover in the north east corner. 2.2. Site Location Map 3. Planning History Page 2 of 14 3.1. 21 March 2005. Application reference S/00432/05/OUT. Demolition of existing dwellings and erection of 7 new dwellings with garages and access road. Planning permission was refused for the following reasons: 1) The proposed development would be out of character with existing pattern of development and would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the area contrary to 3.8, 3.10, 3.14, 3.38 and 5.20 of the adopted Unitary Development Plan, 3.8, 3.10, 3.14 A-D, 3.16A, 3.38 and 5.20 of the deposit draft Unitary Development Plan and Places for Living adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance, Mature Suburbs adopted as interim Supplementary Planning Guidance, Planning Policy Statement 1 and Planning Policy Guidance Note 3. 2) The proposed siting and access arrangement would result in a development that would adversely affect the amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining properties by reason of noise, disturbance and by unduly compromising security by virtue of the proximity and relationship of the proposed driveway to existing private gardens and present opportunities for overlooking of adjacent properties. Plots 6 and 7 would have unusable amenity provision, and result in increased pressure to remove mature trees which contribute to the amenity of the area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to guidelines contained within "Places for Living", adopted by the Local Planning Authority as Supplementary Planning Guidance. The application was dismissed at appeal on 13 July 2006. The Inspector in his decision concluded “in creating a short cul-de-sac of houses, and with a relatively dense built form, there would be an intrusion into the open areas of the landscape. When compared to the existing and distinctive open characteristics of most of the immediate locality such a development would be harmful to the character of the area.
