Crichel Mount Road in Poole. Picture: BNPS. CONTROVERSIAL plans to replace a Poole home with two five-storey blocks of flats have been approved. Concerns had been raised that the Crichel Mount Road scheme was “beyond laughable”, with criticism of its scale. But BCP Council’s planning committee voted to grant planning permission last week, saying the development was justified given the previous approval to build four houses on the site. The application was submitted by Westcoast Developments last year, proposing the demolition of the house at 10 Crichel Mount Road to make way for two blocks each of seven flats. It followed the decision of Poole council to approve the construction of four houses on the site in 2017. ....
Pleasant Lands: Policy Oversight Forcing British Farmers to “Burn” Hundreds of Millions Worth of CBD A new report coordinated by third sector drug policy reform organisation Volteface has today been released, promising a solution to ‘draconian, pointless’ hemp legislation. The report has been written with leading licensing barrister of Francis Taylor Gary Grant, leading cannabis solicitor, Rob Jappie of Ince, and Lily Temperton of cannabis consultancy Hanway Associates.

The squeakiest wheel of all has been councillor Philippa Baker-Hogan who, after years of velodrome lobbying, went all out in her 2019 campaign for a fifth term as the sole bearer of the Velodrome Events Centre banner. ....
Councillor Julie Bagwell A COUNCILLOR who visited the home of a fellow elected representative during lockdown for a meeting has been cleared of wrongdoing following an investigation. Councillor Julie Bagwell, an independent and ex-Poole People member, took part in the November meeting of BCP Council from the home of councillor Judy Butt. It prompted a formal complaint to be lodged against her by her former group colleague councillor L-J Evans who alleged her actions contravened national coronavirus guidelines. But Cllr Bagwell said the complaint was politically-motivated and that she had done nothing wrong with many councillors already taking part in meetings from the same room in council buildings. ....
