A Sandbanks multi-millionaire who spent £13million on the 'world's most expensive bungalow has been dealt a new blow after it was recommended that his right to build the home is refused.
Tom Glanfield, 46, bought a rundown bungalow in the exclusive area in Dorset dubbed 'Millionaire's Row', in March 2023.
But since then he has been involved in a two year fight to demolish the cottage and replace with an eco-home.
But despite locals writing in 28 letters of support for the plans, councillors are now being recommended to turn it down on 'conservation grounds'.
Planning officer Babatunde Aregbesola is to tell members at Bournemouth and Poole Council on Thursday: 'The proposal by reason of the demolition of the existing cottage would result in the total loss of the non-designated heritage asset causing significant harm to the Sandbanks Conservation Area.
