WD/D/19/002723 (OBL) - Land Adjacent Oaklands Park, Warmwell Road, Crossways PDF 39 KB Modification of planning obligations on Section 106 Agreement dated 8th June 2015 on planning approval WD/D/14/002768. Minutes: The Committee considered a report concerning the
modification of the Section 106 Agreement dated 8 June 2015 to substitute the
current affordable housing tenure mix of 17 units (rent and intermediate
ownership) for 17 discounted market units. The Senior Planning Officer presented the application
including the approved site plan showing the affordable housing units
consisting of 12 affordable rent and 5 shared ownership. The proposal was for all 17 to become
discounted market homes, which was a form of affordable housing under the
National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) definition. This followed no expressions of interest
having been received following approaches made to a range of Registered Social
Landlords (RSLs), the reasons for which were outlined in the report. Members commented that "rent to buy" should also
be considered as an additional option in future. Proposed by Cllr Louie O'Leary, seconded by David Shortell. Decision: That delegated authority be
given to the Head of Planning to modify the S106 agreement dated 8thJune 2015 on planning approval WD/D/14/002768 to: Substitute the current affordable housing tenure mix of 17 units (rent and intermediate shared ownership) for 17 discounted market units. |

WP/16/00253/OUT and WD/D/16/000739 - Land to the North of Littlemoor Road, Weymouth PDF 112 KB Outline application
for a mixed use development comprising: up to 500 dwellings, including
affordable housing; up to 8 ha of employment land (to include a new hotel,
residential care home, car show rooms and other employment land); land for a
new primary school; a new local centre; public open spaces, new accesses and
roads, and associated infrastructure. Minutes: The Committee considered a report that addressed a
discrepancy in the wording relating to employment land between the Section 106
Agreement and Parameter Plan. The Senior Planning Officer explained that the area of
employment land identified in the Section 106 Agreement of up to 8 ha did not
concur with the parameter plan proposal of 7.92 ha. In addition there were variations to
Conditions 11, 14 and 20 to add words in order to secure compliance and
enforceability. Mr Richard Nicholls, of the Campaign to Protect Rural
England, addressed the Committee and outlined his concerns around changing of
conditions and the weight given by the Local Plan 2015 and the NPPF in
conserving the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Cllr Roland Tarr, Dorset Council Ward Member - Winterbourne
and Broadmayne, highlighted the lack of consultation with Bincombe Parish
Council and aspects of the development in the context of a rural area in the
AONB. Cllr Graham Brant, of Bincombe Parish Council, stated that
the application did not comply with paragraph 172 of the NPPF in relation to
conserving and enhancing the landscape in the AONB where planning should be
refused for major development unless there were exceptional circumstances. He referred to problems with the road system
in that area including Dorchester and other large developments being built in
Weymouth and Chickerell. In response to matters raised during public participation,
the Senior Planning Officer advised that both applications had been agreed by
Committee on 4 July 2019 and were in accordance with Policy LITT1. Concerns in relation to the AONB had been
considered by the Planning Inspector as part of the Local Plan process and,
although paragraph 172 of the NPPF provided protection to the AONB, it did not
preclude development. He confirmed that
there were no fundamental changes to the applications arising from the report.
In response to a question by a member, he confirmed that the applications would
be refused if the Section 106 Agreement was not agreed within 6 months and that
the applicants were looking to conclude the Agreement by the end of February
2020. Members drew attention to Dorset Council's Statement of
Community Involvement in light of the lack of consultation with Bincombe Parish
Council and Weymouth Town Council. The Senior Planning Officer advised that consultation did
not take place in relation to this particular report as it concerned
clarification of conditions and wording of the Section 106 Agreement and that
the fundamental basis of the applications had not changed. Cllr Louie O'Leary highlighted his continuing concern
regarding the lack of Section 106 contributions in Littlemoor, which was in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed development.
He stated that money for the estate had been overlooked and that the
development would affect Littlemoor schools and health facilities. Proposed by Cllr Susan Cocking, seconded by Cllr Peter
Barrow. WP/16/00253/OUT Decision: 1. That a new resolution to amend the amoun ... view the full minutes text for item 85. |

WP/17/00836/FUL - Land NW Side of Wessex Roundabout, Radipole Lane, Weymouth PDF 102 KB Construction of new
vehicular and pedestrian access, surface water management ponds, open space and
landscaping associated with the adjacent Wessex Grounds Residential Development. Minutes: Cllr Jean Dunseith
moved to the public seating area of the room and did not take part in the
debate. She left the room during the
vote on this application. The Committee considered an application for the construction
of a new vehicular and pedestrian access, surface water management ponds, open
space and landscaping associated with the adjacent Wessex Grounds residential
development. The application was introduced by the Area Lead - Major
Applications Western Team who advised that an update sheet circulated to
members at the meeting included an amendment to the description of the
development to omit the words "associated with the adjacent Wessex Grounds
Residential Development", amendments to conditions 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and a
further representation on behalf of the owner of land to either side of the
road to the north. Members were shown a location plan, softworks plan, plans
showing the existing and relocated access, aerial photo of Wessex Stadium and
photos showing views of the stadium in relation to the surrounding area. Cllr John Worth - Dorset Council Ward Member - Chickerell, addressed the Committee to say that the access
would be an improvement. Cllr Jean Dunseith, speaking as Dorset Council Ward Member
for Chickerell, considered that the position of the
new access was too close to the Wessex roundabout and would result in cars
queuing to get onto the roundabout from the proposed development at peak times
due to a single entrance / exit road. Emma Barnett, the Agent, spoke in support of the
application, stating that it was principally the same as that approved in 2014. Members asked why the application was being considered when
Weymouth Football Club had no plans to have the site developed. Officers confirmed that a condition requiring a replacement
stadium was included when outline planning permission for a residential scheme
was granted in 2014 and it also formed part of a Section106 Agreement. Therefore a
developer could not implement the scheme until such time as a replacement
stadium was built and ready for use elsewhere.
There was a period of 2 years to implement the residential scheme and
provide a replacement stadium if the reserved matters application was granted. Despite the lack of objection on highways grounds, members
who knew the area well considered the new access to be too close to the
roundabout, given the volume of traffic at peak times, traffic speeds onto the
roundabout, school routes and additional parking on match days. Concern was also expressed regarding access
for cyclists and pedestrians given the narrow footpath. They considered the application to be precipitous
in that it relied on other applications that had not yet been considered. The Committee was informed that the Highways Authority owned
a limited section of the verge and therefore the proposed access would provide
improved visibility splays within land owned by the Highways Authority. Cllr Nick Ireland proposed refusal of the application as it was against paragraph 91(a) of the NPPF. He further stated that a ... view the full minutes text for item 86. |

WD/D/17/002597 - Wessex Stadium, Radipole Lane, Chickerell, Weymouth, DT4 9XJ PDF 200 KB Application for approval of
reserved matters for access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale in
relation to outline approval WD/D/14/001938. Minutes: Cllr Jean Dunseith
moved to the public seating area of the room and did not take part in the
debate. She left the room during the
vote on this application. The Committee considered an application for approval of
reserved matters for access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale in
relation to outline approval WD/D/14/001938. The Area Lead - Major Applications Western Team advised
members that it was a condition of the application that it could not be
implemented until an access was provided. Members were shown the site layout, softworks plan, floor
plans, elevations, materials, cross section and street elevation, materials
palette, aerial photo and photos of the application site in relation to the
surrounding area. An update sheet.circulated to the
Committee at the meeting included an additional plan to be added to the
condition 1 plans list and a summary of 2 additional representations which were
read out at the meeting. Cllr John Worth, Dorset Council Ward Member - Chickerell stated that a shop should be considered for this
isolated site as well as improvements to public transport. Cllr Jean Dunseith, speaking as Dorset Council Ward Member -
Chickerell, stated that Chickerell
Town Council and the Civic Society were against the proposal. She had spoken
against it in 2014 when outline permission for 150 -170 homes was granted and
this scheme was at the top end of that number.
Condition 16 specified that development should not commence until a
facility to replace Wessex Stadium was constructed and made available for use
and yet no application for a stadium had been forthcoming. She was also
concerned that there would be no affordable housing and no Section 106 funding
other than £200k for the access road and footpath. Emma Barnett, the Agent, stated that the principle of
development had already been established and either met or exceeded space
standards. There had been no objections
expressed by the Urban Design or Highways officers and £200k would be made
available for cycle and pedestrian improvements. Members debated the lack of progress in building a new
stadium, the lack of affordable housing, the positive prospect of a new bus
route incorporating Southill and the confusing nature
of 3 different applications in respect of the same site. Legal advice was given that the planning authority could not
compel an applicant to make one application and that the 3 applications were
closely linked. After some discussion the Committee agreed to defer the
decision on this application until such time as the report on viability had
been considered. Note: the debate and
decision below was taken after conclusion of the debate and vote on the
viability report had concluded. Following consideration of the report regarding viability of
the Section 106 Agreement associated with outline planning permission WD/D/14/001938,
members noted the lack of reference to a cycleway or number of charging points
for electric vehicles, poor design and appearance, lack of affordable housing,
overdevelopment of the site and concerns regarding the access. The Committee was adjourned for 5 ... view the full minutes text for item 87. |

Report regarding viability in respect of the S106 agreement dated 27 October 2014 associated with outline planning permission WD/D/14/001938. Minutes: Cllr Jean Dunseith
moved to the public seating area of the room and did not take part in the
debate. She left the room during the
vote on this application. The Committee considered a report in respect of the Section
106 Agreement dated 27 October 2014 for outline planning permission
WD/D/14/001938. Following presentation of the report, Cllr Kate Wheller
conveyed comments made by Cllr Lucy Hamilton, Chairman of the Weymouth Town
Council Planning Committee, stating that residents had strong concerns about
large developments that did not include affordable housing and did not allow
for additional burden to GP surgeries and schools. Cllr Jean Dunseith addressed the Committee as Dorset Council
Ward Member - Chickerell, stating that the developers
knew about the provision of an alternative sports stadium and affordable
housing when the scheme was approved in 2014 and the proposal was detrimental
to Chickerell and disrespectful. Cllr John Worth, Dorset Council Ward Member - Chickerell, stated that the proposal represented the loss
of 60 affordable dwellings in an town which had areas of deprivation with a
need for more social housing, including
residents of Chickerell. The developer knew what was required in 2014,
including the need for contributions for facilities such as schools and health
services in the area and the arguments regarding viability should have been
heard at that time. Emma Barnett, the Agent, stated that the Section 106
Agreement allowed viability to be reviewed. A viability study to assess whether
the development could support affordable housing alongside a replacement sports
facility was prohibitive, a view that had been supported by the DVS. There
remained a £200k pedestrian and cycle contribution. She further explained that the applications
had not been joined together due to boundary changes and differing local
authorities prior to the formation of Dorset Council. Some Members were sceptical regarding the provision of a new
stadium and the viability arguments.
They were mindful that no meaningful discussions had taken place with
Weymouth Football Club and concluded that an alternative stadium may never be
realised meaning that the scheme may not be implemented. It was questioned whether the scheme would
have been approved in 2014 if the Section 106 Agreement accurately reflected
the current position. Cllr Nick Ireland stated that affordable housing should be
the primary focus and proposed that re-provision of the stadium be deleted from
the Section 106 Agreement in favour of retaining 35% affordable housing. Legal advice was given that the
Section 106 Agreement allowed the applicant to come back to committee to make a
representation in respect of viability and the DVS was in agreement with this
assessment. It was not possible to change
any other aspect of the Section 106 Agreement, including the provision of a
stadium. Cllr Louie O'Leary proposed that the application be refused
on the basis that the Committee did not accept that the development was
unviable. This was seconded by Cllr Nick
Ireland. Decision: That the application be refused for the reason outlined in the appendix ... view the full minutes text for item 88. |

Duration of Meeting - Time Limit Minutes: A vote to continue
the meeting was taken in accordance with Part 2, Paragraph 8.1 of the Council's
Constitution as the meeting had been ongoing for a period of 3 hours. Proposed by Cllr
Peter Barrow, seconded by Cllr Nick Ireland. Decision: That the meeting be extended for a further period commencing at 2.00pm, following a lunch break, to allow the business of the meeting to be concluded. |

WP/18/00662/FUL - Land Off of Verne Common Road & Ventnor Road, Portland PDF 194 KB Develop vacant land by the demolition of garage, formation of vehicular access, erection of 25 dwellings & associated landscaping. Minutes: Cllr
Susan Cocking left the room and did not take part in the debate or vote on this
application. The Committee
considered an application to develop vacant land by the demolition of a garage,
formation of vehicular access, erection of 25 dwellings and associated
landscaping. The Senior Planning
Officer referred to the update sheet circulated to the Committee at the meeting
that included a correction to the applicant's name and a response received from
Historic England. She advised that the
Portland Neighbourhood Plan could not be given full weight in considering this
application as it had not yet gone to a referendum. Members were shown a
location plan, aerial photo, elevations and photos taken from Verne Common Road,
showing that the site was currently used to graze horses. Simon Gledhill
addressed the Committee in objection to the application as it was outside the
DDB and would impact on trees in the northern part of his garden which were subject
to Tree Preservation Orders and in a Conservation Area. He stated that plot 18 would be a metre from
his fence line and dominate his property.
There was an active badger sett opposite plots 19 and 20 that had
previously been reported by a consultant in an earlier application but was
absent in this application. He also drew
attention to the Biodiversity Plan published in January 2020. Cllr Paul Kimber,
Dorset Council Ward Member - Portland, expressed concern about the increasing
density and loss of small green spaces on Portland. He considered the scheme was over development
in an area outside the DDB
that was precious to the life of the area and used as a play area
for children on the estate. It was clear
that the nearby badger sett would be disturbed as a result of
this development. There were also
difficulties in parking during the evening and problems with access experienced
by the fire service which were not mentioned in the report. In response to the
comments made during public participation, officers advised that the
Biodiversity Plan had been agreed by the Natural Environment Team and was
concerned with the relationship with existing neighbouring properties which had
long gardens. The site was in private
ownership and not designated as a recreation area. The Highways Officer stated that the road
system was constantly being checked for accessibility due to the presence of a
large prison at the top of Verne Common Road and that obstruction was covered
by highways law. Members' debated overdevelopment
in the context of Portland being the 4th highest area of deprivation in the
country, the site being outside the DDB, the absence of badger sett exclusion
areas in the report, no allocation for electric vehicle charging points and the
need to protect green spaces in densely populated areas. Some members considered the development to be
acceptable given that the site was adjacent to a densely populated area,
despite being outside the DDB. Cllr Nick Ireland proposed approval of the application subject to a condition requiring ... view the full minutes text for item 91. |

Demolition of existing dwelling and erect 6no. apartments with
associated landscaping works and parking. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Committee considered an application for the demolition of an existing dwelling and the erection of 6 apartments
with associated landscaping works and parking. The Area Manager (Western) presented the application and the
two appeal decisions appended to the report that were pertinent to the
application. Members were shown a location plan, aerial view, site
location plan, existing and proposed elevations, proposed floor plans, roof
floor plan and cross sections. The proposal included 1 car parking space per
dwelling. Enclosed balconies of 1.4m and 1.6m at the rear protected the amenity
of neighbouring properties. A key issue was the 2 appeal decisions that had been dismissed,
the most recent of which related only to the impact on the amenity of
neighbours and not the design and external appearance of the scheme. The amenity concerns had now been satisfied
and were considered to be acceptable. The Democratic Services Officer read out comments from Cllr
Lucy Hamilton, Chairman of the Weymouth Town Council Planning Committee which made reference to ENV12, the impact on nearby historic buildings and comments made
by the Conservation Officer in the report. Members were generally supportive of the scheme and noted
that it would be an improvement as the existing building was
deteriorating. Cllr Kate Wheller proposed that the application be approved,
subject to a condition in relation to electric charging points for vehicles. This was seconded by Cllr Nick Ireland. Decision: That the application be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the appendix to these minutes. |

WP/19/00611/FU - Martleaves House, 41 South Road, Weymouth, DT4 9NR PDF 303 KB Removal of stables and
redundant barn/store. Erect 4.no detached houses and two double car ports. Minutes: The Committee considered an application for the removal of
stables and a redundant barn / store and the erection of 4 detached houses and
two double car ports. The Senior Planning Officer showed a site plan and location
plan of the existing buildings. Outline
permission had been established for a similar scheme, however, the homes were now
divided into 4 detached houses that had previously been semi-detached. The site was outside of but close to the DDB
and would add to housing supply. The
design was considered acceptable with adequate parking and biodiversity
mitigation. The Democratic Services Officer read comments from Cllr Lucy
Hamilton, Chairman of the Weymouth Town Council Planning Committee, who
objected on the grounds that the site was outside the development boundary and adjoined the Heritage Coast. The
Local Plan monitoring report for 2018-19 confirmed that the area had met the
target to build 775 dwellings per annum and that new figures from the Local
Government Association showed that the number of permissions in existence
outstripped the numbers of homes built. It was a dangerous precedent to build
outside the DBB on a sensitive site of national importance. Malcolm Brown, the Agent, addressed the Committee, stating
that the site was in a sustainable location with outline permission for 4
dwellings and was not within the AONB or Heritage Coast. The policy was out of date with
regard to housing supply, however, this proposal would contribute to
that supply. The car ports would contain swallows
nests to replace those lost in the stables. Cllr Kate Wheller described relevant planning history in
that area that had altered the site from a farm to a tourist industry and
former objection of tents as being detrimental to views of the Heritage Coast.
She was concerned with traffic in that area, in particular
serving Swallow's Rest with huge motor homes and caravans seen on a
regular basis as well as people who were lost getting to the guest house. The Area Manager (Western) advised that the principle of
development had already been established as a result of
the outline application. Proposed by Cllr Nick Ireland, seconded by Kelvin Clayton. Decision: That the application be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the appendix to these minutes. |

WD/D/19/002295 & WD/D/19/002296 - The Barn House, Main Street, Loders, Bridport, DT6 3SA PDF 257 KB Minutes: Cllr Simon Christopher
left the room and did not take part in the debate or vote on this
application. The Vice-Chairman was in
the Chair for this item. The Committee considered dual applications for the
demolition of an outbuilding and the conversion and extension of an outbuilding
to create a dwelling. The Senior Planning Officer presented the applications and
members were shown an aerial view of Loders, the
application site being in the garden area of the Barn House; a map of the site
in the context of other backland developments
alongside the river; the Loders Neighbourhood Plan
DDB and various site, block, elevation and floor plans. Photographs were also shown of the Barn House
and surrounding area. The key planning points were outlined including the
principle of development, scale and design, impact on character and appearance,
impact on amenity, impact on landscape and heritage assets, access and parking. Diane May, a resident of Loders,
addressed the Committee, commenting on the status of the Loders
Neighbourhood Plan alongside the Local Plan, Policy SUS3 in relation to the
adaptation and reuse of existing buildings and the 5 year
housing supply. KevinButler addressed the
Committee in support of the application and drew attention to the potential to
reuse the building offered by the Neighbourhood Plan, reduction in scale of the
proposal and no concerns arising following the commission of an ecology report. Mrs Michelle Warrington, Chairman of Loders
Parish Council, spoke in objection of the application that was outside the DDB
and against Local Plan Policy SUS 3. The
proposal involved a substantial rebuild and extension of the existing building
and she provided measurements to support this view. She acknowledged that this application had a
smaller footprint, however, the proposed roof height was only 6 cm lower and
would be a substantial rebuild. Simon Ludgate, the Agent, addressed the Committee in support
of the application, saying that the scheme was in line with policy and that the
principle of residential use had been established. The design of the pitch roof
would not impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties and the site was not
in a flood zone. The scheme was much smaller and would provide
an additional dwelling and contribute to the 5 year
housing land supply. The Senior Planning Officer advised that Local Plan Policy
SUS 3 did not hold as much weight due to the lack of a 5 year housing land
supply and that
the Loders Neighbourhood Plan was out of date with
regard to housing. The application was for a modest extension very close to the
DDB and therefore considered a sustainable location. The benefits of the scheme outweighed the
very small amount of harm due to the site being outside the DDB. Members considered the new scheme to be acceptable. Proposed by Cllr Louie O'Leary, seconded by Cllr Susan
Cocking. WD/D/19/00295 Decision: That the application be approved subject to the
conditions outlined in the appendix to these minutes. Proposed by Cllr Louie O'Leary, ... view the full minutes text for item 94. |

WP/19/00501/FUL - 73-75 Portland Road, Weymouth, DT4 9BE PDF 125 KB Minutes: The Committee considered an application for the conversion
of a shop and residential accommodation into 2 dwellings and the construction
of 3 dwellings to the rear fronting Williams Avenue. Members were shown a site plan, aerial view, existing and
proposed elevations and floor plans and photos of the site and surrounding
area. Following closure of the shop which included a Post Office,
the Planning Officer advised of the nearest post offices in St Thomas Street,
Abbotsbury Road and Charlestown in Weymouth. The Democratic Services Officer read out comments from Cllr
Lucy Hamilton, Chairman of the Weymouth Town Council Planning Committee,
stating that the committee welcomed the provision of new housing on a
brownfield site, however, concerns had been raised regarding the size of the
accommodation. Councillors were also
unaware of the intention to remove the post box and telephone box which
represented a loss of amenity to residents and she was in contact with Royal
Mail about the replacement of the post box. David Nightingale, the applicant, advised that McColls had initiated a break clause in the10 year lease
and vacated the property. The
application sought to maintain the existing character of the building. He advised that the post box and telephone
box were on the forecourt of the property rather than the pavement. The Highways Officer explained that there was no objection
on highways grounds and that the site was along a sustainable bus route that
operated every 10 minutes and was also within walking distance of a doctor's
surgery and nearby schools. Members raised concerns in relation to overdevelopment, lack
of amenity space for the new dwellings, parking difficulty, fire safety access
and traffic safety in the extended area given the proximity of 3 local schools
and the Tesco Express. They noted that
highways officers were currently considering reconfiguration of the road system
on road safety grounds. The Committee was informed that the design continued the
general terraced theme of Williams Avenue, albeit that these were 3 storey
homes. However, members considered that the gardens of other homes in Williams Avenue
were a reasonable size and that the living experience in the proposed homes
would be significantly different. Cllr Kate Wheller proposed that the application be refused
due to overdevelopment and lack of amenity on the site. The Area Manager (Western) suggested a reason
for refusal that was agreed by Cllr Kate Wheller. This was seconded by Cllr
Louie O'Leary. Decision: That the application be refused subject for the reason outlined in the appendix to these minutes. |
