Today, September 11, 2018, I saw a surveyor at work outside 169 Lymington Road. This surprised me, so here are two photographs. The first shows a tripod set up – the surveyor was a little way down Lymington Road, towards the golf course, with another tripod.
It was obviously quite a nice bungalow in its time:
Here are details of what will be happening:
Location: 167-169 Lymington Road, Highcliffe, Christchurch, BH23 4JS
Proposal: Appearance, Landscaping, Layout, Scale for Demolition of Existing Buildings and Erection of up to 17 Apartments
Decision: Granted
Decision Date: 20/04/2018
Finally, here is a link to the not very informative planning application, on the Christchurch website.
Update, 8 January 2019
Starting soon. This is a picture of the bungalow above. It is now inaccessible, but I was able to get a picture by holding the camera above the fence. It looks like preparation is under way, with more detritus in the garden. There are also a lot of building materials in the thatched house next door.

Starting Very Soon
It is a case of Now you see it, soon you won’t. As you can see from the picture, a fence is being erected around this thatched house, presumably before the demolition work begins.
The link to the planning application is above, and all of the plans and drawings are there. However a picture of one of them is below if you want to have a look.

Almost all Gone
One of the bungalows has completely gone, and there is only a tiny bit of the thatched one left. I expect that construction will be starting soon.

Nothing Left
A few days ago the site was empty, and the building should be starting soon.
