Christchurch Town Council had also objected to the proposed scheme due to its "scale, bulk, mass and height, which renders the development inappropriate in design and character". Another opponent was Natural England, which claimed the development, with its proximity to the SSSI at St Catherine's Hill, would have an "adverse" affect on the area. The Jumpers and St Catherine's Hill Residents Association agreed. Refusal noticeConstruction of a care home with associated parking, access and landscaping on

St Catherine's Hill land salesDevelopment on land on the corner of The Grove and Barrack RoadApplication for Flats and Houses on Corner of The Grove - Refused December 2021A new application has now been submitted for a block of 35 flats and 4 dwellinghouses - Application number 8/21/1214/OUTThis application by Richard Carr came before the BCP Planning Committee recently. There were 275 objections and it was recommended by Officers for refusal. It was refused - but only just - by 8 votes to 6. Six Bournemouth and Poole Members including the Committee Chairman, voted to grant the application. BCP Cllr. Margaret Phipps challenged the Chairman of Planning with a question at Full Council, as to why nearly half of the Committee Members had gone against the officer recommendation to refuse the application because they "liked" the development, when it was contrary to so many policies. He replied that policies were open to interpretation. Cllr. Phipps said she thought that what had happened did not give the public confidence in the Committee. The full question and answer are noted in the Minutes of January's BCP Council meeting.

The coalition Government has largely put a stop to the back garden grabbing that caused so much ill will and did much to increase population density and bring the local road system under even greater strain. In the current economic climate this means that the number of on-going developments at any one time is now quite small. ______________________________________________________________ Older planning issues |
