The estate is mainly made up of semi-detached houses and terraces with clusters of flats. Since the 1980s many of the houses have been sold under ‘right to buy’; most of flats remain in council ownership. West Howe is adjacent to Turbary Common and Kinson Common Nature Reserves, both of which are highly valued landscapes – primarily due to the heathland habitat that makes up part of each site. Their nature conservation designations establish both Commons as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Ramsar sites, Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Local Nature Conservation sites. Turbary Common is also designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA). Local planning policies require any residential 02 development within 400 metres of these sites to be resisted due to likely negative impacts on the healthland. This suggests that any net additional housing would need to be West Howe : accommodated outside of the two 400m exclusion zones. The policies do not rule out other types of development within the context the 400m zones such as care homes or employment uses. 12 West Howe : A Vision for physical regeneration Active by Design 13 The flats in West Howe are generally Residents and people involved in In terms of education, the West Howe The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment surrounded by significant areas of the area report a strong sense of Strategic Assessment May 2012 (JSNA) 2010- 2015, by NHS open space.

  • History and Heritage
    People have lived in the area now called Bournemouth since at least the Late Upper Palaeolithic when there was a reindeer hunters’ camp at Hengistbury Head. By 1800, there were farms within the heathland at Stourfield and Littledown. Most people, however, lived in the hamlets along the Stour valley between Wick and Kinson. Apart from Kinson which was in Dorset, the area was mainly within the parishes of Holdenhurst and Christchurch. The Bourne stream gave local fishermen and smugglers a place to beach their boats and an easy route inland to Kinson and past Hurn. The 1802 Christchurch Inclosure Act allowed local landowners to buy large areas of the heathlands. Lewis Tregonwell leased land from Sir George Ivison Tapps in 1810 and built ABOVE his house (now the Royal Exeter Turbary Common – part of the original Hotel). By 1838, the marine village of heathland from which the local people Bourne opened its first hotel. In 1856, collected fuel, especially turves the Bournemouth Improvement Act allowed the town to start its separate existence.
