Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development fails to provide adequate on-site car parking provision in accordance with the council’s adopted standards. The replacement garage, by reason of its insufficient internal dimensions, would not accommodate a modern-day vehicle and therefore would result in the loss of a lawful parking space. Furthermore, the limited depth of the forecourt, measuring approximately 3.4 metres between the building line and the highway, is inadequate to accommodate a parked vehicle without unacceptable overhang onto the public footway. This would obstruct pedestrian movement, create conflict between vehicles and vulnerable footway users and be detrimental to highway safety and residential amenity. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy PP35 of the Poole Local Plan (2018) and Sections 3.2 and 4.2 of the BCP Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document (2023).

From the council's decision notice.
