1B Greystoke Avenue Bournemouth BH11 9NL

1. 1.The proposal would result in an excessive amount of built form within the plot, which would be detrimental to the openness of the junction, cramped in its setting, especially given its location in the context of spacious plots and openness of the junction with Fulwood Avenue. Consequently, the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Core Strategy 2012 and paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
2. 2.The proposed development would result in a creation of a large, open plan habitable accommodation, which will leave the innermost part of it (kitchen and dining areas) without any provision of access to natural light, making the accommodation dark, reliant on artificial sources of light and with poor outlook. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that the site is enclosed by tall timber fences, removing most of the natural light and outlook from the new windows serving the extended part of the extended accommodation. It is therefore considered that the proposal conflicts with the provisions of Policy CS41 of Bournemouth Core Strategy. By failing to achieve a high standard of amenity for existing and future users, the proposal would also conflict with the National Planning Policy Framework’s objective of securing well-designed and high-quality places.
3. 3.No BNG information has been submitted in relation to this proposal, as it is a qualifying development, being a minor category application). As a result, the proposal is not considered to provide sufficient justification that the Biodiversity Gain Hierarchy as defined in the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 has been adequately considered in the design of the development. As a consequence, it is not considered possible to be sufficiently confident that the statutory biodiversity gain condition is capable of being successfully discharged, in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and Schedule 14 of the Environment Act 2021 and PP33 of the Poole Local Plan.
