Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormer, by reason of its excessive scale, poor design, materials and its placement spanning two roof slopes, would form an unsympathetic, dominant and incongruous addition to the dwelling. The proposal would therefore be harmful and would detract from the character and the appearance of the host dwelling and the wider character of the area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Planning Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan Core Strategy (October 2012), the Council's Residential Extensions Design Guide (SPD) 2008 and the provisions of the NPPF 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
