TWO applications for changes at two East Dorset garden centres have resulted in different outcomes from council planners.

Stewarts Garden Centre at Holt has seen an application for a pergola approved while at a West Parley garden centre an application to use land to the east of an existing car park for overflow parking at busy periods, was refused a certificate of lawful use.

Other applications decided by Dorset Council include a home gym in the rear garden of a property at Dorchester Road, Upton and an extension to a pet shop and tea rooms at Wolvercroft Garden Centre, Fordingbridge Road, Alderholt.
