The Society believes that with its streamlined shape and pronounced integration of balconies and fenestration, the building bears a certain resemblance to 1930\u2019s International Moderne. Thus we feel the structure could easily harmonize with the very modernist townscape in the vicinity of Holdenhurst Road and St Paul\u2019s Lane. The two storey ground floor foyer above which all the upper floors are supported on concrete supports, could become a popular and relaxed meeting place for coach and train travellers and university students.<\/p>\n \n Planning Committee .<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n May 19<\/b>th<\/b><\/sup> \u2013 <\/b>Only one Bournemouth application on the agenda<\/p>\n<\/li>\n May 24<\/b>th<\/b><\/sup> \u2013 Only one Bournemouth application on the agenda<\/p>\n<\/li>\n June 16<\/b>th<\/b><\/sup> <\/b>\u2013<\/p>\n<\/li>\n July 21<\/b>st<\/b><\/sup> <\/b>–<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n \n\n
