To grant planning permission for application P/VOC/2021/05510, relating
to Marchesi House, Poplar Close, Weymouth, DT4 9UN.
Application P/VOC/2021/05510 was considered by the Western and Southern
Area Planning Committee on 7 April 2022. The committee resolution was as
follows:
Decision: that authority be delegated to the Head of Planning or Service
Manager for Development Management and Enforcement to grant planning permission
subject to: • completion of a Deed of Variation to secure the planning
obligations agreed under the Section 106 Agreement (dated 26 May 2020) related
to planning permission WP/18/00914/FUL; and • the planning conditions detailed
in Section 17 of the Committee Report subject to minor procedural amendments to
conditions as considered necessary by the Head of Planning or Service Manager
for Development Management and Enforcement in consultation and agreement with
the Chair of the Western and Southern Area Planning Committee, so long as these
changes relate to procedural matters only and do not alter the objectives and
purposes of the planning conditions. (B) that authority be delegated to the
Head of Planning or Service Manager for Development Management and Enforcement
to REFUSE planning permission for the reason set out below if the Deed of
Variation is not completed within 6 months of the committee resolution or such
extended timeframe as agreed by the Head of Planning and recommends that the
Head of Planning determines the application accordingly: 1. In the absence of a
satisfactory completed Deed of Variation the scheme fails to ensure provision
of the affordable housing on site. Hence the scheme is contrary to Policy HOUS
1 of the West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Local Plan 2015.
The Deed of Variation referred to above has now been prepared, and minor
procedural amendments to the conditions have been agreed with the Chairman of
the Western and Southern Area Planning Committee. As such, this planning permission
can be issued under delegated powers.
