Debbie Tulett Portland Resident
Ref: Planning application: WP/20/00692/DCC OBJECTION TO THE POWERFUEL PORTLAND LTD PLANNING APPLICATION THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE DORSET WASTE PLAN 2019 (Adopted December 2019) POLICY 18 Biodiversity and geological interest Natura 2000 Sites Proposals for waste management facilities must not adversely affect the integrity of European or Ramsar or other internationally designated sites, either alone or in combination with other plans and projects. Sites of national and local importance: Development which adversely affects a Site of Special Scientific Interest will not normally be permitted, except where the benefits of the development at the site clearly outweigh the impacts on the features of the site. Policies 1-6 of the DWP establish that the benefits of the development of the site clearly do not outweigh the impacts of the features of the site and that there is no ‘need’ for a waste incinerator at this location other than for personal financial gain. This proposed site not only abuts a SSSI and is within metres of a SAC, but within 10km of the site there are numerous conservation designations. Therefore this proposal is in breach of the Dorset Waste Plan 2019 Policy 18 OVERVIEW: The Isle of Portland is a magnificent place for birdwatching, known as one of the best in Britain and is renowned for its migratory birds and passing seabirds. Habitats include cliffs, old quarries, farmland, dense scrub, rough pasture, clumps of trees and residential gardens. Portland is one of the UK’s best-known birdwatching areas. The abundance of Portland’s wildlife is remarkable, as the unique beauty of Portland has various habitats supporting a diverse range of animals, birds and plants.

191010 Appendix A, Item 18. PDF 2 MB
Appendix A Consultation on Proposed Dog- Related Public Spaces Protection Order There are a number of existing dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders (‘PSPOs’) across the Dorset Council area. These were introduced by the former District and Borough Councils which have now become part of the new unitary Dorset Council. Some of these Orders will soon naturally expire and the council is taking the opportunity to consolidate them into one. The intention is that the new Order will provide clarity and consistency across the area for dog owners and non-owners alike about dog controls on public open spaces. We are required to consult with the public and other stakeholders on the content of new or revised PSPOs. This may see changes to the previous Orders dependent upon the views expressed. Councillors will make the final decision on the controls to be included in the new Order, having regard to the feedback received during the consultation. The views of residents, visitors and businesses are therefore very important and a period of consultation will run for 12 weeks finishing at 4.30pm on Friday ADD DATE. To have your say, please complete this short survey, it should take about 15 minutes or less for the 34 questions related to the proposal and a further 6 ‘about you’. Results will be published on the consultation tracker after the closing date. Information on the current dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders is available to view at: East Dorset: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/environmental-health/dog-warden-service/dog-control-

Cranford Cranford West Bexington, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 9DD Bridport 6 Miles Beach and sea 0.3 Miles A much improved, individual detached bungalow with sea views, located within one of West Dorset's most sought-after coastal locations. • Superb Coastal Position • Far-Reaching Sea Views • Greatly Improved By the Current • 3 Generous Bedrooms Owners • Open-Plan Living/Dining • Front Terrace with Views Room/Kitchen • Rear Garden Backing on to Fields • Ample Parking and Integral Garage Guide Price £550,000 THE PROPERTY Cranford is a delightful detached bungalow which occupies an elevated position just a short distance from the beach within the popular and highly desirable coastal village of West Bexington and therefore enjoys stunning sea views. Under the current family ownership, which began in 2006, the property has been greatly improved including a thoughtful extension and internal refurbishment, all carried out to an exacting standard. The result is a spacious and beautifully presented coastalhome which takes full advantage of the south-facing aspect and impressive vista to the front. Amongst the most significant of the improvements has been the reconfiguration of the living areas to create a fantastic open-plan kitchen, living and dining room with glass doors opening to the front terrace. With a fitted kitchen of contemporary units with comprehensive appliances and an adjoining laundry/utility area, this room is ideally suited to a sociable modern lifestyle. From the utility area a pedestrian door leads into the garage which is currently appointed as a store room but offers great scope for further improvement or conversion into additional accommodation, subject to any necessary consents being achieved.

Coastal Defence
Dorset Marine and Coastal Topic Paper Series 2010 Coastal Defence Dorset has a dynamic coastline: in the past, uninterrupted coastal processes created some of its most beautiful and important features . However, the issue of coastal retreat in this area was first recorded in 1366 at Highcliffe. Erosion and flooding by the sea are hazardous to property and infrastructure on the coast, and so there will always be demands for coastal defence works to protect property. This will mean that natural processes are inevitably interrupted. Data regarding climate change and sea level rise (SLR) suggest that these natural processes will accelerate during the 21st century and this will place greater pressure on both available finances and engineering solutions. Balancing the desire to protect property whilst maintaining the integrity of the natural coast requires creative engineering solutions, and difficult decisions have to be made about where and how to protect. • Coast protection works which protect the processes in neighbouring coastal against erosion. This is where the process units. land behind the works is higher than Sediment cell is a term frequently used any expected tidal flooding level. with regards to Shoreline Management These works are carried out under the Plans.
