The road was once mainly substantial family homes which, over the years, became offices mainly for solicitors and estate agents. In recent years, the trend has reversed, with the business users moving out, and the properties once again being used for accommodation. Two properties in the road feature in the latest planning applications to Dorset Council. At Savernake House, 42 High West Street, application P/LBC/2026/04152 seeks listed building consent for repairs to roofs, a chimney and a dormer window. * For more public notices like this see the public notices portal at https://publicnoticeportal.uk/dorset-echoPics – Dorchester’s High West Street, typical of the buildings being converted back to homes.
