TWO new homes could be built on the site of a former builder’s yard in Sturminster Newton – part of a larger scheme.
Planning firm Boon Brown has applied to Dorset Council on behalf of RB Snook Ltd for permission to develop the homes on land at Clarke’s Yard, in Bath Road.
Formerly a railway cutting, the site measures around 0.08 hectares.
As part of the plans, a disused warehouse and a former sales suite would be demolished.

“Although currently the site is mostly vacant, there is another proposed development for 28 dwellings within the wider Clarke’s Yard site that will utilise the same access road connection to Bath Road as this current proposal,” the plan said.
“A vacant area of the 28-dwelling proposal leaves space for this current proposal.”
Material from the demolitions would be “repurposed and used where possible in the construction of the proposed development”, it said.

How the new building could look
Are these 2 homes/houses or a larger development of apartments? If the latter, what is the potential occupancy?
