Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions and alterations to the roof, by reason of the height increase, irregular shaped roof and large dormer together with the materials proposed, would comprise poor design and detract from the character and the appearance of the dwelling and further, would form an incongruous, harmful and unduly prominent addition in the street scene which is characterised by dwellings with a consistent ridge height and roof shape, and which are devoid of roof alterations and extension. For these reasons, the proposal is contrary to Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (2012), the Council’s Residential Development Design Guide (2008) and the provisions of the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
