What is the council thinking : Legal action threat over Southbourne flats plan RESIDENTS and businesses are gearing up to battle against plans to build four blocks of flats on a Bournemouth cliff top car park and community gardens. St Catherine’s Road Action Group is calling on the community to support their opposition to the plans for the Southbourne Cross Roads car park. As reported, Vivir Estates Ltd has submitted plans to BCP Council for 27 flats on the Southbourne Coast Road site in a scheme which was described as a “landmark development” by the applicant’s agents. BCP Council has confirmed following a decision to dispose of the site by the former Bournemouth Borough Council, a long lease has been agreed with the developer.
An application has been tabled for 27 new homes on Southbourne Cross Roads car park. Vivir Estates Ltd, described as a “young company” in application documents , also want to make use of areas of planted gardens at both ends of the car park to deliver flats, which would have unobstructed views of the sea. A planning, design and access statement by David James Architects & Partners Ltd on behalf of the applicant says: “There exists a fantastic opportunity for the application site to accommodate a new landmark development to address Southbourne Cross, which would compliment and enhance the evolving area of Southbourne, as well as the immediate street scene, and provide much need housing stock to the area.”
