Dorset Council will shortly begin demolition of the Pippins building in Wimborne.
We no longer need this property. It is in poor condition and has suffered constant break-ins and vandalism since it was vacated. Its demolition will allow the site to be redeveloped, although no decision on its future use has been made at this time.
We are proposing that a conifer tree at the front of the site is removed on 5 November 2021, as well as the pruning of several other trees, allowing demolition to begin. All other trees on the site will be kept and protected during the works, which will be supervised by an Arboriculturalist.
Asbestos removal from the building will be undertaken in late January 2022, and we are in the process of disconnecting utilities.
It is currently proposed to start the main demolition work at the beginning of February 2022, with all works to be completed before the end of March 2022. This is subject to obtaining statutory consents, and all such parties have received prior consultation regarding this scheme.
During the demolition works, there will be some need to install temporary traffic lights on Hanham Road periodically to permit safe working and access to the site. Dates for such measures will be confirmed in advance.
