Can I extend my home on Sandbanks?

Yes, but coastal flood risk, proximity to Poole Harbour SSSI, and the exposed location create additional design and planning considerations. We assess flood zone status, foundation requirements, and any environmental designations as standard.

Do Sandbanks properties have special planning restrictions?

No blanket restrictions, but BCP Council's design officers pay close attention to proposals on Sandbanks due to the area's prominence. Quality design and materials are expected. Some properties may be in flood zones requiring a Flood Risk Assessment.
