Location

The site is located in a prominent position on New Road at the junction with Bleke Street to the north of Shaftesbury, Dorset. Shaftesbury lies on the A30 road 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Salisbury, near the border with Wiltshire. It is the only significant hilltop settlement in the county of Dorset,
being about 215 meters (feet) above sea level on a greensand hill on the edge of Cranbourne Chase. The town overlooks Blackmore Vale, part of the River Stour basin. The immediate vicinity of the site is predominantly residential with some retail use, La Fleur de Lys hotel and Kings Arms public
house located nearby. At the 2011 census, the population of Shaftesbury was approximately 7,314.

Proposed Accommodation

In 2018 Planning permission was granted under application number 2/2019/0680 for the construction of 18 dwellings within a terrace of nine houses and an apartment block of nine flats.

The flat sizes were considered excessive and in order to optimise the site, our client secured planning(P/FUL/2021/01338) to alter the internals of the apartment block only and therefore secure a planning permission for 9 x 3 bedroom townhouses and 15 x 2 bedroom apartments, as per the proposed accommodation schedule shown within the property brochure.
