Welcome to our website!<\/p>\n
We are people who live and work in Bournemouth and who campaign for historic buildings and Conservation Areas, for high-quality new design and for a healthier environment. We have always been non-political, independent and focussed on the protection and enhancement of Bournemouth\u2019s environment and character.<\/p>\n
Our activities are anchored around monthly meetings of the Executive Committee, at which we discuss a wide variety of matters affecting Bournemouth. A large part of our remit is to monitor planning applications and development proposals affecting the built and natural environment and feed our comments back to Council Members and Officers, with whom we maintain an advisory and consultative role. There is always at least one committee member in attendance at meetings of the Council’s Planning Board.<\/p>\n
We campaign to protect Bournemouth’s historic environment and character and work closely with a number of other local groups and associations to promote shared interests, such as the Boscombe and Pokesdown Neighbourhood Plan Forum.<\/p>\n
One of our key aims is to promote high-quality new design and, where possible, we engage constructively with developers to exchange views about specific proposals, whether in overall schemes or design details.<\/p>\n
