Learn About Pines & Chines

The Branksome Park and Canford Cliffs Residents Association monitor local planning applications. We will make recommendations and objections to the Council Planning Department, Planning Committee and developers as we consider appropriate . Members can contact the BPCCRA Planning Officer Dugald Eadie directly by email from the Committee page.

What We Do

The Branksome Park and Canford Cliffs Residents Association brings people together to provide a unified forum to address issues that are likely to have an impact on where we live.

Pines & Chines Magazine

Pines & Chines is a full colour magazine that has a very wide readership being delivered directly to members homes and it is distributed to local businesses such as cafes & restaurants, hairdressers & beauty salons and Estate Agents. The magazine is brimming with interesting and informative articles, it is a really good read and a handy reference for important contacts. It can be downloaded from the website.

Pines & Chines Magazine

Our magazine is the widely read by the membership and beyond. The print run is between 2600 and 3000 depending on the season currently but the readership is considerably more.
