Plans for a major transformation of a former office building into a 73-flat development in Bournemouth town centre have been submitted. Tannen (Marshall) Limited has lodged an application to redevelop 4 Richmond Gardens, an eight-storey circular building at the top of Richmond Hill in Bournemouth town centre.
Planning documents reveal that 73 flats will occupy the upper six floors, with five floors containing 13 flats each and the sixth floor accommodating eight flats. The proposal indicates that most of the flats will be one-bedroom units, with only a handful featuring two bedrooms.
A total of 73 on-site parking spaces will be provided in the existing basement car park. The planning statement notes that this represents a significant reduction from the existing provision of approximately 134 spaces. There will be 78 long-stay cycle parking spaces on one of the basement levels, alongside 14 short-stay spaces positioned outside the building.
The proposal is under consultation until June 18. Officers are expected to reach a decision on the redevelopment following the conclusion of the consultation period.
