                  1. Built Environment.\u00a0 <\/strong>\n

                    • A338\/Bournemouth Hospital. <\/strong>The Society\u2019s views had been submitted.\u00a0 It was agreed that it would be better for this to go to Call In decision rather than local Council<\/li>\n
                    • 140 Alumhurst Road. <\/strong>This matter is now with the Planning Inspectorate\u00a0 but continued unauthorised building works were taking place which local residents where chasing through the Council. It was agreed to raise this at the next meeting with Andrew England.<\/li>\n
                    • 36-36A Southbourne Road. <\/strong>The plans for flats should be refused<\/li>\n
                    • 116-123 Christchurch Road. <\/strong>The plans for flats were of questionable quality<\/li>\n
                    • Belle Vue Road\/Newstead Road. <\/strong>John S, Ken and James were supporting the local residents in their campaign against an overblown redevelopment of several bungalows with a huge block of retirement flats and the request to Council for consideration of a Conservation Area and local listed building status for adjacent\/nearby well preserved Victorian and Edwardian buildings. It was agreed to raise this at the next meeting with Andrew England.<\/li>\n
                    • Lucerne Arch. <\/strong>There was a suggestion from Cllr Hedges \u00a0that the Lucerne Arch should be removed because of\u00a0 the unauthorised use by rowdy buskers, anti-social people and the mess made on the roof and below by pigeons.\u00a0 It was noted that Arch obscured the view of the listed Arcade. After discussion on the pros and cons of retaining the arch or resiting it as part of wider streetworks associated with the Beale Place pedestrianisation it was agreed as follows: retain but increase policing of anti social behaviour 5 votes, relocate 3 votes, no view either way 1 vote. It was unanimously agreed that if the Council did remove or resite the Arch at all costs the Lucerne clock and slab should be preserved in a prominent place ie at the Pavilion, in Westover Road or in The Square.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
