A PLANNING application has been lodged to build nine residential flats in Winton.
The development involves constructing a five-story side extension, a three-story roof extension and an internal alteration.
The proposed plans for 579-581 Wimborne Road in Bournemouth were prepared on behalf of Agora Homes Ltd.
The statement prepared on behalf of the developer said: “The site is located within a district centre and on a key transport route where the principle of providing new residential dwellings is therefore acceptable.
“The proposed dwellings will make a contribution to meeting Bournemouth’s housing needs.”
This application is an alternative proposal to the planning permission granted in February 2024, which would create seven residential flats.
The application site is a 2-storey building that is neighboured on both sides by three and 3.5-storey buildings that comprise commercial units on the ground floor and residential units above.
The statement continued: “Other buildings in the vicinity vary in height, including the four-storey Talbot Court opposite the application site.”
A decision is yet to be made on the application.
