A property developer s plan to convert a £3million plot overlooking exclusive Sandbanks into a £10million super-development has sparked anger among local residents.
Bayview Developments want to convert the prime plot, currently occupied by a bungalow, into a site for three luxury homes - including a neo-classical mansion.
