    Planning Committee 20 October, 2016 WD/D/16/001814 ITEM NUMBER 05 Application Number: WD/D/16/001814 Outline Registration Date: 19 August, 2016 Application Site: LAND OPPOSITE 24 AND 25, CHARLTON DOWN Proposal: Erect single dwellinghouse (outline) Applicant: Mr Foot Ward Members: Cllr F Horsington, Cllr T Yarker Case Officer: Katrina Trevett This application has been called into committee by the Local Members. 1. Summary Recommendation 1.1 APPROVE - subject to conditions as listed below 2. Description of development 2.1 This application seeks outline planning permission to erect a dwelling on an open grassed area directly adjacent to numbers 24 & 25 Charlton Down; all matters are reserved although an indicative site plan has been submitted. 2.2 The application site covers an area of approximately 0.06ha and is situated within the south west corner of the Charlton Down village, directly south west of Herrison House; to the north west of number 24 Charlton Down and north east of 25 Charlton Down. 2.3 This area of land has remained as grassed open space that is sited between Back Lane (a perimeter lane to the south west of the village) and Beech Path that provides pedestrian access running north east from the application site. The site appears visually separate from the larger field directly to its north west, which is also within the applicants ownership and is currently used for horse grazing. 2.4 The application site would be accessed off Herrison Road via the private lane, Back Lane, which offers access to No. 24 and 25. Back Lane links to Beech Path which runs along the back of properties along Birch Way and connects to Poplar Drive.

  • Charminster Farm Phase 3
    Application Number –WD/D/19/003097 Site address: Land West of Charminster Farm, Between Wanchard Lane and A37, Charminster Proposal: Erection of 82 dwellings, access, landscaping, allotments, public open space and associated works. Applicant name: Lewis Wyatt (Construction) Ltd Case Officer: Bob Burden Ward Member(s) Cllr David Taylor 2.0 Summary of Recommendation: Delegate approval to Head of Planning subject to: - entry into a s106 agreement to address affordable housing (35%), provision of public open space with management/maintenance details, -Re-location of allotments (with specification details); -Establishment of vehicular and pedestrian links with Phase 2/land to east; -Financial contributions towards the implementation of Traffic Regulation Orders for : -extension of 30mph speed limit on Wanchard Lane, -restriction of motor vehicle access along Wanchard Lane, -weight restriction along Weir View. And conditions. 3.0 Reason for the recommendation: Absence of 5 year land supply Para 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out that permission should be granted for sustainable development unless specific policies in the NPPF indicate otherwise The location is considered to be sustainable and the proposal is acceptable in its design and general visual impact. There is not considered to be any significant harm to neighbouring residential amenity. There are no material considerations which would warrant refusal of this application 4.0 Table of key planning issues Issue Conclusion Principle of development Whilst the site lies outside the defined development boundary the council does not currently have a 5 year housing land supply; this strengthens the case for accepting this development. Furthermore, it is a site which was identified as a Preferred Option for development in 2018- and that is likely to be carried forward in the emerging new Local Plan.

Tracks can be seen in mud and fitch ferret but report it anyway. The sandy coloured snow, the lack of foliage helps in spotting deer ferrets do not need to be reported. Another animal and, if you are very lucky, foxes and otters.

It is very useful if sightings of being seen and one confirmed sighting but we need mammals are reported via the Mammal Recording more information. There is a population in the New Form on our website, this is especially so in the Forest so they are not too far away. case of mammals that we would expect to be in Work is progressing with the compilation of a hibernation such as hedgehogs. I also urge you to Dorset mammal atlas which will list all the species report sightings of badgers or their signs, including of mammals that occur in this county including sea road casualties, as this will help us establish the mammals that have been seen from the land along effects of the badger cull which is, sadly, to continue our coast such as dolphins and seals.
