Public notices of our proposals

Current statutory public notices of our proposed plans can be found below.

Land at Mudeford Wood, located south of Somerford Road, Christchurch, Dorset

We are proposing to enter into a deed of easement to grant the right to discharge rainwater from neighbouring land in Somerford Road into the River Mude.

This only affects a very small section of the Council’s land at Mudeford Wood. The pipework and point of discharge will be in the northern part of Mudeford Wood just south of Somerford Road, Christchurch, Dorset

Only rights are being granted and ownership of the land will not change. We will therefore remain the owner of Mudeford Wood.

Disposal of Public Open Space Notice - Land and Wave, Sandbanks

We are proposing to renew the lease to Land and Wave Ltd of an area of open space land at Sandbanks recreation ground and beach, Poole, Dorset. The proposed area to be leased is shown outlined in blue and red on the attached plan. The 2 parcels of land, located on the recreation ground and beach at Sandbanks, are currently used in conjunction with Land and Wave’s outdoor education and adventure business.

The land, outlined blue, will be used for the siting of 2 temporary storage containers, for the storage of sports equipment and non-motorised water sports and land based activities, for tuition and public hire services. The land outlined red is for the provision of non-motorised water based sports on the beach. The length of the lease granted will be for a maximum of 3 years.
