Officers from North Dorset police attended a hearing at Southampton Magistrates’ Court, where a three-month partial closure order was granted for the property, following repeated reports of anti-social behaviour.
The order, issued under Section 80 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, restricts access to the address.
Only the lawful tenant, employees or agents of Sovereign Network Group (SNG), and emergency service personnel are permitted to enter the property during the closure period.
A spokesperson for North Dorset Police said: “This is an important and powerful piece of legislation that enables police and housing providers to protect vulnerable people, residents, tenants, and the wider community from anti-social behaviour and associated criminality.
“A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to achieving this outcome.
“Your support, information, and partnership working have been invaluable, and we could not have done it without you.
“Together, we are helping to make our communities safer.”
Anyone found inside the property in breach of the order may be removed and arrested by police.
