Why it was refused

  1. The proposed alterations, including the increased projection of the approved dormer and the introduction of a recessed balcony, would result in an unduly dominant, visually discordant and top heavy addition. Owing to its increased depth, bulk and altered form, the proposed dormer would fail to read as a subservient roof addition and would instead appear as an incongruous, box like addition that disrupts the proportions and balance of the existing dwelling. The resultant massing would not integrate appropriately with the established roof form and would materially harm the character and appearance of the existing dwelling. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy PP27 of the Poole Local Plan (November 2018) and Policy PQF3 of the Poole Quay Forum Neighbourhood Plan (2017).

From the council's decision notice.
