BCP Council application P/26/04255/PNDEM
This is not a normal planning application. It is a prior notification of demolition. FJB Hotels is seeking to tear down the Haven Hotel and its business centre with no approved replacement scheme in place. The 28-day decision window is tight. The council must hear from the community now.
The Haven is where Guglielmo Marconi lived and conducted his pioneering wireless experiments from 1898. It has welcomed visitors for nearly 140 years. Once demolished, it is gone forever.
The Haven has welcomed visitors since the 1880s and has historic ties to Marconi's wireless experiments. No replacement has been approved. Once demolished, a hotel at the harbour entrance is gone for good.
Months of demolition at the mouth of Poole Harbour, next to a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area, risks serious harm to wildlife and water quality. Banks Road is the only road on and off the peninsula.
With no replacement scheme lodged, demolition will leave a hoarded building site at one of the most prominent coastal locations in the country, potentially for years.
