Why it was refused

  1. The proposed BT Street Hub, by reason of its scale, design and siting, would appear as an unduly prominent and visually intrusive feature that would introduce clutter and erode the sense of openness within this part of the Town Centre Heritage Conservation Area. As such, it would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would harm important views along Chapel Lane. The proposal would also detract from the setting of the Grade II listed building at 34 Hill Street, resulting in less than substantial harm to its significance, which is not clearly and convincingly justified. The development is therefore contrary to Policies PP6, PP27 and PP30 of the Poole Local Plan, the provisions of the NPPF (including Paragraph 115), the National Design Guide, the Town Centre SPD and the Our Streets and Spaces SPD, and the statutory duties set out in Sections 66 and 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
