W H White Limited is now seeking comments from the community on exciting proposals for a mixed-use development known as Canford Park, located north of Bearwood.

A Government appointed Inspector has advised that the Poole Local Plan is capable of being sound subject to modifications. The emerging Plan includes an allocation for a minimum of 800 homes, a 60-bed care home and community hub at Canford Park (site UE2, North of Bearwood).

W H White is committed to bringing forward a planning application which reflects this aspiration and comments from the community. Before finalising the plans, we would welcome feedback from the community on the emerging Masterplan. You can provide comments by:

Attending public exhibition sessions at Bearwood Community Centre, King John Ave (BH11 9TF) on:

  • Wednesday 8 August – 4pm to 8pm
  • Tuesday 21 August – 4pm to 8pm

Canford Park is an opportunity for a sustainable development of 800 family homes, a 60-bed care home and supporting infrastructure. It will create a unique community set alongside a new Riverside Country Park providing beautiful parkland which can be enjoyed by everyone.  The development will also include a new community hub at its heart providing a focal point and range of community facilities, employment opportunities and small everyday shops.
