47 Coastal Reach, Bournemouth

This site was occupied by a three storey house of 483 sq m, with custard-coloured rendered elevations and a mansard roof in ceramic turquoise tiles. The proposal to redevelop the site as six flats (600 sq m gross external floor space), in a style more appropriate to the location was refused at application stage but granted consent on appeal.

Many hours of pre-application dialogue with the Local Authority proved worthwhile. The resultant flats mostly enjoy dual aspect with excellent views across Hengisbury Head to The Needles.
