A BUNGALOW in Corfe Mullen could be demolished – and replaced with 11 affordable homes – if plans are approved.

A scheme has been submitted to Dorset Council by DHPC for permission to develop the site, at 74 Wareham Road.

If approved, the scheme would see four one-bed flats, one one-bed flat, one two-bed house, two two-bed houses and a three-house terrace of two-bed homes built on the site currently occupied by a detached bungalow, which would be demolished.

“The application site is located on the western side of Wareham Road, north of the junction with Blythe Road in Corfe Mullen and it is currently occupied by a detached bungalow,” the plans said.

“There is a long rear garden with housing development positioned in backland areas, to the north of the application site.

“The site is located within a walking distance of the nearby community facilities to the north (consisting of a local convenience shop, church, community centre and a library).”

It said there are two bus stops near the property.

“The proposed scheme creates a carefully balanced and attractive proposal which will respect the pattern and layout of development in the vicinity and preserve the character, appearance and local distinctiveness of the area,” the application added.

“Good living conditions will be provided for future occupiers and the amenities of neighbouring properties will be maintained.”
