HEAL Planning successfully secured planning permission at appeal for a loft conversion in Sutton Coldfield, involving a hip-to-gable roof alteration and rear dormer window.
Birmingham City Council had refused the application due to concerns that the roof alterations would be out of character with the existing property and surrounding street scene.
Our appeal demonstrated that the area contained a varied mix of roof forms, including numerous fully gabled roofs and existing dormer windows. During the site visit, the Planning Inspector identified at least nine examples of fully gabled main roofs along Chartwell Drive.
The Inspector concluded that gabled roofs were already an established part of the local character and found that the proposed rear dormer would not dominate the roof or appear out of scale with the property.
The appeal was allowed on 28 October, approximately three and a half months after the council’s refusal, and planning permission was granted.
