PROPOSALS for 15 apartments near a new road to Poole Port are to go before planners.
The one and two-bedroom apartments above a commercial ground floor at the former Pilkington Tiles site in Blandford Road, Hamworthy, are reserved matters from the first stage of development of the site, which began in summer 2013.
Four one-bedroom and 11 two-bedroom apartments are proposed with landscaping and car parking areas next to the new Port Link road on the Carter’s Quay development, pictured.
There will be 75 new family houses with gardens within sight of a new quayside on the land.
“As the new neighbourhood grows so it will generate its own demand for local shops and facilities to serve local people, reducing the need to get in the car,” said the developer’s vision.
“In time, if the regeneration produces new demand for businesses to come to Hamworthy, there is space for them here.”
