Why it was refused

  1. The proposed scheme would not reflect the local pattern of development in terms of height, scale, bulk, massing, and visual impact. These concerns in turn would not respect and relate to the existing building, and would not maintain or enhance any details that contribute positively to local character. The proposed extension would bring harm to the visual amenities of the street scene of Oakley Hill and the wider surrounding area, contrary to the provisions of Policy PP27, paragraph 1a and paragraph 2 of the Poole Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
