06/02/2025 - Construction of the new Blandford Waste Management Centre ref: 4616    Recommendations Approved

The project is for Construction of a Waste Management Centre to the northeast of Blandford Forum, Dorset, to provide a Household Recycling Centre and Waste Transfer Station with access off the A350.  The current WTS in Blandford is an adapted grain store which forms part of a combined site adjacent to the HRC. The site is small and is in poor condition offering little scope for improvements in processing efficiency and landfill disposal diversion. The Blandford Waste Management Centre is being project managed by Assets and Property on behalf of Dorset Council’s waste services.

The need for a replacement WMC in the Blandford area was identified by Dorset Council’s Waste Services (formally the Dorset Waste Partnership) and several sites were put forward for consideration as part of the Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and Dorset Waste Plan 2019.

(b)  That a lettings plan is put in place with the successful HA so Dorset Council can ensure the properties are allocated in accordance with the funding requirements.

 

Reason for the decision

 

Dorset Council now owned 30 properties that were purchased with the funding granted from the Government as part of LAHF1, 26 of the properties were purchased to house Ukraine refugees and 4 of the properties were purchased to house Afghan refugees in accordance with conditions attached to the grant payment. All of these properties at some future date and on becoming vacant could be used as temporary accommodation to house those who were homeless or potentially homeless. The project was very successful however had taken a lot of resource from the Council’s Housing and Assets teams to carry out the work. Additionally, the Council was only able to grant non secure tenancies as the Council was not currently a stock holding authority. A requirement of the LAHF3 funding was that the Afghan refugees were offered secure tenancies.

To meet the short deadline, offer secure tenancies to the families from Afghanistan the properties should be provided, owned and managed by a registered provider.

This would fund the potential investment in technology and process change – noting that individual funding decisions in excess of the key decision threshold would be subject to individual business cases to be brought before Cabinet for approval.

Reason for the decision

 

The proposals outlined in the “Our Future Council Business Case and Transformation Plan” report to Cabinet of 28 January 2025 lay the groundwork for a comprehensive programme of transformation and improvement, enabling Dorset Council to achieve its priorities within a sustainable medium-term financial strategy. The ambition and commitment o improvement and delivery as part of “Our Future Council” initiative aligned with the Council Plan priorities and our new operating model section.
