This all means that a high proportion of the centres employment land will become residential. This is the biggest change to the town centre since World War 2 and as faraas I can tell both town and district councils are blissfully unaware of the total scale of the changes.
This is an opportunity we will not see again for PDC to take the long view and work with the freeholders so we can have a properly integrated and planned development with shops, flats and workspace for the whole area involved, and with, hopefully, a regenerative effect on the remainder of Kings Road East and the High Street

Thank you for that informative and sensible report. Swanage needs a clean up, but it should be done properly, and not a "Free for all" The town should be an attractive place, pleasing to the eye, not a haphazard 'build on all the available land approach'

If you were to replace the words "PDC" with virtually any other organisation, (eg women’s institute, carnival committee, football club) then the whole argument would be credible...
