Why it was refused

  1. The proposal, due to the provision of substandard communal facilities (kitchen/living room) provided within the proposed building would result in cramped and oppressive living conditions for the prospective occupiers, especially with the bedroom sizes being relatively small and not reasonably meeting the needs of the prospective occupants. Furthermore, the proposed development would be served by a small rear garden, which would not provide a sufficient external, private amenity space for the occupants of the proposed development, resulting in cramped living conditions for the prospective occupiers, contrary to the provisions of Policy PP27 (1)(d) of the Poole Local Plan.
  2. The proposal, due to its nature, would result in an unacceptable level of noise resulting from the over intensification of the use on site, which would be detrimental to the amenities of the adjacent neighbours, and harmful to the established character of the area, contrary to the provisions of Policy PP27(1) of the Poole Local Plan. The overintensification of the use of the site would also result in a change in the character of the local area.

From the council's decision notice.
