The future of the railway station will be looked at as part of a wider Local Transport Plan (LTP4), which aims to address the needs and priorities of the surrounding area’s residents and businesses.
Documents show the council will “review opportunities for new or relocated train stations in BCP to support housing and employment growth”.
It states: “Poole is founded on its distinct maritime heritage, with its world-renowned harbour and leisure destination of Poole Quay.
“The town has significant potential and opportunities for a programme of sensitive, heritage-led regeneration on previously developed land and possible re-location of the train station to regenerate the town centre.”
The documents show that the council will “work with Network Rail/GBR to deliver a suitable replacement of Poole Level Crossing”.
This work is going to be one of the more expensive schemes and is expected for delivery during IP2 which is between 2031 and 2036.
The plan is set for discussion at a BCP council Environment and Place Overview and Scrutiny Board meeting on July 15.
