Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the scheme would result in the loss of a small family house contrary to Policy CS19 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including whether the scheme would have sufficient regard to existing and proposed soft landscaping
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of surrounding properties, in particular with regard to any overlooking, outlook or overbearing impacts
  • Whether the scheme would provide a policy compliant level of cycle parking provision and electric charging vehicle capacity

What decided it

The cumulative effect of loss of a small family dwellinghouse, harm to character and appearance through overdevelopment, unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions through overlooking and overbearing effects, and failure to provide policy-compliant cycle parking provision.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS19, Policy CS22, Policy CS41, Policy CS18, Policy CS17, saved Policy 4.25, saved Policy 6.8
