The latest planning list is available here.
This month’s significant applications reflect a continued trend of site intensification, with proposals seeking to replace single dwellings. While several designs take a more traditional approach, concerns remain over increased density, material choices, and landscaping impacts.
Notable applications also include two key hospitality venues—Rockwater (Sandbanks) and Compton Acres. Rockwater has requested to extend Sandbanks Beach Café’s opening hours to 1 AM, raising potential concerns over noise and disturbance, while Compton Acres has applied to formalise its long-standing café and shop use under Class E, ensuring continuity of its operations. The Association will continue to review these applications to ensure they contribute positively to the local area.
