Eddie Mitchell plans restaurant and bar by Sandbanks beach
9:00am Sunday 3rd February 2013 in Latest By Joanna Codd
PLANS: Eddie Mitchell
DEVELOPER Eddie Mitchell is proposing to build a strikingly modern restaurant and bar within the main car park at Sandbanks beach in Poole.
He has submitted plans for a three-storey building with views across Poole Harbour on the site of a council-owned bungalow near the car park entrance.
In 2006, Mr Mitchell put forward ambitious plans for a 100-metre high spire with an observation deck called Skywalk Tower on the site of the crazy golf course at Sandbanks. The scheme was later withdrawn.
Andrew Flockhart, strategic director at Borough of Poole, said: “The council has registered a planning application for 89 Banks Road to demolish the existing building and replace it with a three-storey bar and restaurant.
“This application will be dealt with by our planning team.
“The land in question is owned by Borough of Poole and includes a former lodge which is occupied by a tenant.
While the council has been notified formally that an application has been submitted on land the council owns, we have not been contacted in recent years by the applicant for a discussion about this matter.”
Mr Mitchell’s company Seven Developments specialises in luxurious contemporary seaside homes such as the Thunderbird house in Branksome Park.
Ken Sanson, chairman of the Sandbanks Association, said: “We shall have to wait and see how the council deals with the plan.”

If anyone can see a problem with that, please tell me why.
Apart of course with those who hate anyone who risks a quid to make a quid.
They used to call them (the haters) commies or socialists.
Now, I think, they are called Occupiers.

In order to avoid noise nuisance and anti-social behaviour, there would have to be severe restrictions on licensing hours, and at no time should the establishment be allowed to be only a bar - i.e. food must be served right up until closing time. Amplified live music must be forbidden and recorded music must be restricted to very low background levels.

A restaurant would be acceptable and could become an asset to sandbanks, but "bar" sounds ominous.

Forget that Eddie. Lets ha e the south stand built. With hotel restaurant and bar in kings park.
It's not going to be cheap anyway - consider the location. Eddie isn't going to be selling pints at Wetherspoon prices in Sandbanks.

"In order to avoid X, Y must happen" - it's just an opinion obviously.

Nice of him to plan a money making scheme for himself on someone elses property without even contacting them about it.

So you get rid of one (subsidized) tenant and provide employment for twenty or thirty taxpaying people.
If anyone can see a problem with that, please tell me why.

What we complain about is jobs being cut for the sake of profit.
But if he invests a quid, then gets a quid back. Great.
Just as long as he pays all of his taxes to the wider society that help him create his wealth.

Why not add another level to be built by Dave Wells and made affordable housing. We could eventually re-name the town Mitchwells

There should be a preservation order on the old bungalow to show people how Sandbanks used to be before developers like Mitchell came along.
