PLANS have been submitted for a new ladies’ boutique in Wimborne.

CJF Design Projects Ltd has submitted a planning application to refurbish the shopfront at 49 High Street, to create the Thirty Three Boutique, on behalf of Ms Catherine Gosney.

Ms Gosney is understood to be the person behind the Roberta boutique, in Bournemouth, as well as the Thirty Three Boutique in Lymington High Street.

Meanwhile, the plans detail a makeover for the premises in Wimborne, formerly occupied by Quba & Co.

“The changes to the shopfront are designed to be minimal and enhance the existing shopfront with no structural changes but repair and refinishing of the existing in a neutral white colour, while also introducing clear branding in a way that compliments the shopfront,” the plans said.

“Internal works are cosmetic with no plans to alter the structure of the building,” the application added.

“The fit out will include the reconfiguration of some internal partitions and wall linings that have been introduced as a part of previous shop fits in 2009 and 2018.”

The building is listed, but the application says features deemed important “are to be retained in place and undamaged”.

Dorset Council will now consider the plans, which are open for consultation.
