Harry Redknapp has lodged fresh planning proposals to knock down his \u00a31.5million property in Dorset, and construct an expansive five-bedroom residence in its place.<\/p>\n

The 78-year-old former Premier League manager submitted the application via his company, Pierfront Developments, to Bournemouth Council.<\/p>\n

The proposed mansion in Poole would feature five en-suite bedrooms, a separate garage, and a pool house.<\/p>\n

Amenities within the pool house would include a sauna, steam room, hot tub and bar area.<\/p>\n

According to the planning submission, replacing the existing 1970s white rendered dwelling would represent “a significant improvement to the character and appearance of the site”.<\/p>\n

This latest submission follows two unsuccessful attempts by Redknapp to develop the site with a pair of properties intended for sale.<\/p>\n

Both applications, lodged in 2023 and 2024, were turned down by the local authority.<\/p>\n

Subsequent appeals were also dismissed.<\/p>\n

The former Portsmouth, West Ham and Tottenham boss has now revised his approach.<\/p>\n

He is seeking permission for a single dwelling rather than the dual-property scheme that previously drew opposition.<\/p>\n

The scaled-back proposal appears designed to address concerns raised during earlier planning battles with the council and local residents who opposed the original development plans.<\/p>\n

The Branksome Park & Canford Cliffs Residents Association has previously strongly opposed Redknapp’s development ambitions for the site.<\/p>\n

The group accused the former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner of attempting to “compromise the Conservation Area’s integrity” with his earlier proposals.<\/p>\n

In response to a previous application, a spokesman for the association stated: “The design still aims to split the site, increasing the density of the plot, with a modern palette of materials, which are not in keeping with the surroundings nor compliant with the sustainable agenda set out in the Local Plan.”<\/p>\n

Neighbours had also described the proposed houses as “overbearing and dominant”.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth Council is anticipated to deliver its verdict on the latest proposal early in the new year.<\/p>\n
