An application to demolish the existing Rockley Watersports Training Centre, cafe and various buildings has been submitted by Rockley Sands (Estates) Limited.

However, more than three years after submitting the plans to council, Rockley Sands (Estates) Limited withdrew the application.
A letter from planning and development consultants Lichfields to BCP Council’s planning department said: “On behalf of our client, Rockley Sands (Estates) Limited, we confirm that we wish to withdraw the current planning application for the proposed redevelopment at Rockley Point (Ref: APP/18/01470/F).
“The application went through a lengthy process, having originally been submitted in November 2018.
“Our client needs more time to review options for redeveloping this part of the site, including reviewing existing permission.
“Rather than requesting a further extension of time, we believe it would be appropriate to withdraw the request and re-engage counsel once we establish a preferred way forward.”
