Decision details

To grant planning permission, subject to conditions, for development described as ‘Construction of a temporary compound comprising of a kiosk unit to house data exchange for telecommunications (Jurassic Fibre) including concrete slab for placement, and 1.8 metre high steel palisade perimeter fencing’ at Marsh Sports Complex Full Site, Weymouth Outdoor Education Centre, Knightsdale Road, Weymouth, in accordance with the ‘minded to’ decision of the Western and Southern Area Planning Committee on 2 December 2021 in respect of planning application P/FUL/2021/02076.

Planning application P/FUL/2021/02076 was considered by the Western and Southern Area Planning Committee on 2 December 2021. The committee’s ‘minded-to’ resolution was to grant planning permission subject to the agreement of the Highway Authority to the submitted construction method statement, and subject to conditions. As the nominated officer, I confirmed at the meeting that this decision would be taken forward under delegated powers, in line with the committee’s ‘minded-to’ resolution.

Confirmation has now been received from the Highways Authority that they are content with the submitted construction management plan, and therefore the decision can now be issued, in line with the ‘minded-to’ resolution of the committee.

The Highways Authority have requested that an additional informative is added, as set out below. It is considered that this informative does not materially alter the decision, and can therefore be added under delegated powers.
