Why it was refused

  1. The roof form and design and the width of the property with no elements set back would result in a house, when read in the context of the neighbouring bungalows at each side and in the broader street scene, that would dominate the plot and the street scene. As such, the proposed replacement house would fail to deliver development of a scale, bulk, mass and design that would preserve the residential character of the area and would fail to positively contribute to the local distinctiveness of the area. The proposals would therefore be contrary to the provisions of Policy PP27 of the Poole Local Plan (2018).
  2. The proposed annexe, due to its self-contained nature and lack of functional links to the main dwelling on the site would not be ancillary to the parent dwelling and therefore would be contrary to the provisions of criteria A, B, D and E of Policy PP13 of the Poole Local Plan (November 2018). These issues have been given significant weight as part of the planning balance afforded to the scheme and are considered to outweigh the aspects of the scheme that are in accordance with Policy PP13. As such, the proposed annexe would be contrary to the provisions of Policy PP13 of the Poole Local Plan (November 2018).
  3. Insufficient arboricultural information has been submitted to demonstrate that trees will not be unduly impacted by the proposal. The proposal does not respond well to the natural features on and off site and is likely to negatively impact trees that add positively to the character and amenity of the local area. This is contrary to core planning principals (section 12) of the National Planning Policy Framework which seek to secure well-designed places that are sympathetic to local character and history, including the surrounding built environment and landscape setting. Accordingly, the proposal would be contrary to criteria 1(b) of policy PP27 of the adopted Poole Local Plan (Nov 2018).
