Why it was refused

  1. The amended scheme has failed to address the concerns previously identified by the Local Planning Authority. By virtue of its scale, forward projection, design, and resulting adverse impact on the verdant character of Burton and Balcombe Roads, the proposed development would represent an over- dominant and incongruous form of development. The revisions do not overcome the harm previously identified in P/25/02482/FUL the proposal would still fail to respect the established local character, would not enhance the street scene, and would cause visual harm to the conservation area. The harm to the significance of the conservation area would be less than substantial; however, no public benefits have been demonstrated that would outweigh this harm. The proposal therefore is contrary to Policies PP27 and PP30 of the Poole Local Plan, as well as the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

From the council's decision notice.
