Bournemouth change in policy has us all on the canvas!!!

We are not easily surprised here at Dot. Towers, but Bournemouth Borough Council have knocked us for six with their latest press release.

As from the 23rd of November, the social housing threshold for any development will be taken away entirely. In layman's terms this means that any form of development in the area will seek up to 40% contribution of affordable homes based on the schemes viability.

Here at Dot. we have had numerous conversations with the council to ascertain how this will affect development in the area, and we are now happy that working alongside the council, progress can continue without too much of a hit to all concerned.

Please feel free to get in touch, and we can advise as to your next step on any of your sites in Bournemouth, its not as bad as you may think!
