Why it was refused

  1. The commercial trafficking of the ground floor would vary significantly from the non-commercial storage use granted, personally and privately, to the applicant. Inadequate and insufficient operational information has been provided in order for the Local Highways Authority to safely judge that there would be no adverse highway safety impacts, and as such the proposal fails to demonstrably satisfy Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan Core Strategy (October 2012), the Parking Standards SPD (2021) and the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
