Why it was refused

  1. The development by virtue of its size, form and design, and part of the rear elevation alterations would result in an incongruous addition to the street scene and would be particularly unsympathetic to the character and appearance of the Heckford Park Conservation Area which is defined by the cohesiveness of buildings. As a result, the proposal as a whole would be detrimental to the significance of the Conservation Area, causing harm to this significance within the ‘less than substantial harm’ category. This harm is not considered minimised or justified, given that a smaller-scale loft conversion necessitating minimal external changes could have been explored. As a result, the proposal would fail to comply with Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Chapter 16 of the NPPF, and Policy PP30 Heritage assets of the adopted Poole Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
