DEVELOPERS will unveil their proposals for three key sites in Bournemouth town centre on Monday.
Representatives from Watkin Jones will outline their plans to redevelop sites at Oxford Road, Holdenhurst Road and the corner of Christchurch at St Swithun’s road at a planning board meeting.
No planning application has yet been submitted but Watkin Jones is giving a pre-application presentation to councillors to get initial feedback on its ideas.
Watkin Jones already has a strong track record in Bournemouth – the company was responsible for the student accommodation on the former B&Q site and it is currently building Bournemouth University International College at Holdenhurst Road.
Cllr Dave Kelsey, chairman of the planning board, said councillors would be listening with interest.
“It’s nice that we’ve got people interested in developing in the town,” he said.
“And I always think it’s a good sign when developers are prepared to engage with the planning board so early on. It normally means they are serious about what they want to do and it gives us the opportunity to give them our feedback.”
The planning board meeting, which is open to the public, will start at 4pm at Bournemouth town hall.
