Why it was refused

  1. The retrospective boundary treatment, due to its height, scale and design results in an incongruous and overly dominant feature that fails to preserve the open and spacious character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policy PP27 of the Poole Local Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
