Overview Details Tess Square, Marnhull Marnhull, Dorset A full planning application for a mixed-use development comprising a food store, office space, café, and mixed-use space for E class uses (e.g. estate agents, hairdresser, funeral care, dentist, vet), and 2x2-bed flats. Plus a main parking area with 137 parking spaces, as well as 7 extra spaces in the existing surgery car park, a new parking area with 30 parking spaces for St. Gregory’s Church and St Gregory’s Primary School. The proposals include landscaping, associated engineering operations and access arrangements, on land west of Church Hill, Marnhull.The proposed design strategy has been developed to encompass the desire of the applicant to create an attractive destination development that will significantly enhance the retail and commercial facilities available to Marnhull’s residents, together with opening up large areas of open green space for public amenity and recreation.To ensure the proposed buildings and landscape will sit comfortably in their rural village setting, the layout and building design take inspiration from heritage-agricultural farm building typologies and arrangements. These have been used to create a range of enclosed and semi-enclosed courtyards, providing space for parking, outdoor dining, safe pedestrian circulation and an attractive setting for each of the proposed buildings.The proposed buildings will screen the proposed car parking from views back towards the proposed development. Strategic gaps between the buildings will allow and encourage visitors to move from the development to the newly accessible green spaces to the south and west. When viewed from the green open spaces, and from further afield, the proposed buildings will appear as a group of rural, agricultural farm buildings, built in natural local materials, and entirely appropriate to their setting.
