                          \n
                        • 10-12 Lorne Park Road. <\/strong>The submitted plan for 15 flats was out of character and like a matchbox on end.\u00a0 The site would be better developed between the neighbouring Arts and Crafts and modern buildings<\/li>\n
                        • North Road Coal Yard. <\/strong>The layout for 60 dwellings was OK, but the design of the flats fronting Ashley Road were banal, an improvement to the fenestration would help<\/li>\n
                        • Adjoining 8 Branksome Dene Road. <\/strong>The submitted plan was to replace a large house with two small, well designed cottages.\u00a0 There were 51 letters of objection.\u00a0 This plan was not<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          appropriate for the area and could lead to a rash of similar proposals for in-filling.<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • 1 Poole Road. <\/strong>An elegant and desirable plan for 15 flats<\/li>\n
                          • Wharfedale Road. <\/strong>The plans for the former West Station Rail Yard were an inappropriate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            mix of residential and commercial properties.\u00a0 A rethink was essential, this site should be for<\/p>\n

                            commercial not residential development and the existing buildings retained and refurbished.<\/p>\n

                              \n
                            • 79 Lowther Road. <\/strong>The proposal for a 6 flat extension would lead to degradation of the area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  • 194 Charminster Road. <\/strong>The planned extension was approved despite objections<\/li>\n
                                  • Planning Appeals.<\/strong> The success rate of appeals from Bournemouth was better than the national average<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
