Construction proposed near Jonathan Ross's listed residence met with objection, involving a plan to erect 93 homes.
In the picturesque town of Swanage, a proposed development by Westcoast Developments has sparked controversy among local residents. The development, planned on the site of the former college, includes the construction of a care home before its demolition and the subsequent building of 93 new apartments.
The development, if built, could have a significant impact on the community, with Mr. Ross expressing concerns about the loss of privacy for his property, particularly for the bedrooms that would now overlook the new development. This sentiment is shared by other residents, who fear a negative impact on their own privacy.
The proposed development has also raised concerns about the change to the fabric of local life. Residents are worried about the influx of new dwellings in the area, fearing it may disrupt the peaceful, close-knit community atmosphere that Swanage is known for.
One resident has suggested that the proposal is an example of overdevelopment in an unsuitable location, while another claims that the area does not have the infrastructure to support more people. These concerns are compounded by the residents' worries about the direct impact on traffic and amenities due to the proposed development.
The proposed development may also block sunlight in the area, a concern that has been raised by several residents. This could potentially affect the quality of life for those living nearby.
Despite these concerns, Dorset Council is still considering the outline application from Westcoast Developments. The residents, led by Mr. Ross, have submitted letters of objection to the council, hoping to voice their concerns and influence the decision-making process.
As the council continues to deliberate, the residents of Swanage await a decision that will shape the future of their community. The outcome of this development could set a precedent for future developments in the area, making it a crucial decision for all involved.
