Lewis-Manning Hospice has had plans to sell-off some of its land to raise funds rejected by Poole Council.

The charity says it was relying on the sale ... which would've seen an acorn-shaped eco-house built off Sandbanks Road ... to purchase beds for its new in-patient unit - and is 'very disappointed'.

But the Council says their application breached too many policies - including the loss of protected trees ... and negative impact on public views and the character of the area.
