Why it was refused

  1. The proposal, due to its significant bulk/massing and positioning, would fail to appear subservient to, and retain the visual form and integrity, of the existing dwelling, would unbalance the symmetry of the semi-detached pair of dwellings and would result in an overly dominant and incongruous feature that would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the area. The proposed cladding would not compliment the existing materials and appearance of the dwelling nor the street scene. The proposal is therefore contrary to PP27 of the Poole Local Plan 2018, Policy PQ3 of the Poole Quays Forum Neighbourhood Plan and the provisions of the NPPF that seeks to ensure that development achieves good design.

From the council's decision notice.
