Why it was refused

  1. The modification to the Section 106 Agreement to allow payment of planning contributions to be triggered prior to occupation would fail to mitigate the impact of the development upon Dorset Heathlands and Poole Harbour at time of occupation. This is because the pre-occupation timing would not allow sufficient timing for the payment of funds to be implemented as mitigation – likely resulting in a situation where flats are occupied before the mitigation has been fully implemented, resulting in harmful impacts upon Dorset Heathlands and Poole Harbour. Further, the modification reason is to enable land banking to hold the permission in abeyance rather than facilitating its delivery, and therefore would not contribute to the Council’s delivery of much needed housing, contrary to the provisions of the NPPF (para 81) and the Housing Supply and Delivery Planning Practice Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
