Bournemouth Planning has indicated that the Trusts plans to build houses in the gardens of cottages in the conservation area have now been withdrawn. Without a proper framework for the managing of the Conservation Area this may well be merely a temporary respite, we still await a reply from Bournemouth Planning regarding the carrying out of a character appraisal for the CA, without which there is very little protection for the remaining open spaces from development.
The withdrawal of the plans to build in the gardens of the cottages may simply be a response to new Government plans to make such 'garden grabbing' far more difficult. We may yet see proposals to build on the horse paddocks which may not necessarily be covered by the new proposals.
It is important that a conservation framework is implemented as soon as possible by the Council.
