Footpath diverted to make way for guest accommodation

Summarised from Bournemouth Echo's report · Updated 20 Oct, 14:32 · Archive

A public footpath at Parley Manor is being diverted to allow conversion of a building into guest rooms.

Bournemouth and Christchurch Council has opened a public consultation on diverting Public Footpath E62/6 at Parley Manor in Hurn. The diversion is linked to plans to convert The Piggery building into overnight guest accommodation for the Parley Manor hotel and wedding venue. The path would be rerouted from its current route through The Piggery onto an alternative track running from near White Cottage to the west of Parley Court Barn.

Under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the shift is required to enable the change of use from office space into guest bedrooms at the popular wedding destination. The consultation runs until 28 October, with comments to be sent to rightsofway@bcpcouncil.gov.uk.
