That the Habitat Regulations Appropriate Assessment outlined within the Committee Report be adopted; and, 2. That the application be APPROVED subject to conditions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application is before Members as the views of the Ward Members and Parish Council are contrary to the officer recommendation. Planning permission is sought for the siting of 14 holiday lodges together with associated development within part of the existing nine-hole golf course at Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club. The proposal has evolved since its submission with the lodges moved away from the green lane (Warkidons Way) to the east of the site and all access taken from the main hotel car park to the site where the individual lodges will be sited. Concerns raised in respect of the impact of the proposal on this historic lane are considered to have been overcome by the revisions to the proposed development, such that any potential impact will be limited to glimpsed views of the development through established hedging. The development represents a diversification to the existing accommodation offer at Woodbury Park, and as a consequence will encourage further visitors to the site and surrounding area, which is also likely to provide wider economic benefit to the local economy. This is considered to comply with Policy E19 of the Local Plan. There are no landscape designations pertaining to the site and the suggested siting is not considered to be visually intrusive or prominent within the countryside. The site is in relatively close proximity to the protected landscapes of the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths, however it is considered that appropriate 19/2145/MFUL page 7 mitigation measures have been provided to offset any impact arising from additional activity generated by the proposed development. Impacts arising from the proposed development in terms of traffic, landscape, trees, ecology and additional activity have been considered and subject to appropriate conditions the application is recommended for approval. CONSULTATIONS Local Consultations Parish/Town Council NOT SUPPORTED. Would regard the application more favourably if certain lodges were located a further distance from Warkidons Way. Conditions attached should include no alterations to Warkidons Way and its hedging, no vehicle access (except for golf carts) and not to be used for residential use (with guests staying no more than 28 days for one particular stay). Woodbury And Lympstone - Cllr Ben Ingham I recommend this application for refusal. I do not think this site is appropriate for caravan usage due to the proximity of the pebble bed heaths. Woodbury And Lympstone - Cllr Geoff Jung 17.02.20: I have viewed the further documentation regarding the Planning Application 19/2145/MFUL for the change of use of land for the siting of 14 holiday lodge caravans and associated access and development at Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club Woodbury Castle Woodbury I did not support the Application and the further information provided do not provide information that changes my view, but I reserve my final views on the application until I am in full possession of all the relevant arguments for and against. 24.09.20: 19/2145/MFUL Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club Woodbury Castle Woodbury. I have viewed the further documents submitted in Sept for the planning application 19/2145/MFUL for the change of use of land for the siting of 14 no. holiday lodge caravans and associated access and development at Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club Woodbury Castle Woodbury. My views are still the same as the location is considered "special" between the village of Woodbury Salterton and the common providing an almost vehicle free access to the open common. I refer to my comments I summitted earlier this year, regarding access for emergency vehicles that has not been resolved.

  • Swanage and Portland: Historical
    1 Swanage and Portland: Historical IN THE BEGINNING On the 6th of January 1786 two men scaled the cliff near Seacombe. Unlike climbers today this pair were not driven by challenge but by necessity. They were crew of the Dutch East Indiaman Halsewell, which had been blown onto the rocks by a violent gale. They raised help and, although the captain’s daughters perished, being too terrified to leave their cabin, another eighty of the ship’s complement of 240 were saved from the sea. One of their number was coloured and therefore a rare sight for the insular locals. Unfortunately, he was not to survive the short journey to shelter up at Worth Matravers; the stile where he died is still known as Black Man’s Gate. Interest in the considerable extent of limestone along the Dorset coastline near Swanage can be traced back to the obscure origins of the cliffstone trade in medieval times. Serious quarrying activity dates from about 1700 and continued up to the mid-nineteenth century. It was during this period that the platforms at Tilly Whim, Dancing Ledge, Winspit, etc. were cut, a legacy later to be enjoyed by the climbing fraternity and in those days put to extensive use by the smugglers whose affairs were rife all along the Dorset coast. Quarrying of the cliffs themselves finally ceased with the closing of Seacombe in the 1920s and of Winspit in the 1950s. For the first documented ascent of any part of the Swanage cliffs other than for commercial gain, we have to go back to the latter part of the nineteenth century, the time of the Empire and the great Victorian pioneers, when famous alpinists such as Mummery, Tyndall, Whymper, and the notorious Aleister Crowley were practising their alpine climbing on the chalk precipices of Beachy Head and at St Margaret’s Bay.

Oh and I forgot to mention that not only did we have glorious weather throughout, but the trip was absolutely free. In all 24 signed up for this excellent trip. Saturday. Isle of Portland We started the day looking over Chesil Beach from the Heights Hotel vantage point. Richard Edmonds gave us an overview of the geology and the geomorphology of the area. He explained issues related to quarrying waste disposal and development of the harbour and the remedial engineering work that had to be undertaken. Heights Hotel Grounds This contains large ammonites and a fossil tree. The hotel bought a collection of fossils found on Portland and used them in the hotel grounds. The fossil tree is preserved by silica, but unknown where the silica has originated from The Portland Limestone has 3 layers; Top Roach Stone which is very Shelly. Middle Whitbed is slightly shelly Base bed very fine oolitic limestone no shells in it, Above the Portland we have the fossil forest of the L Cretaceous Purbeck Group. (The 3 layers of stone of the Portland Limestone were used to construct the Olympic logo by the Heights Hotel).

  • Case Studies
    6. South-West Heritage Sites - Case Studies 6.1. Identification of heritage sites currently or potentially at risk The task of identifying potential coastal heritage sites in Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and Somerset involved three stages. The first of these was the development of a long list of possible sites of interest; these were gathered from a range of sources. First, from studies and investigations by English Heritage and Historic England, such as the ‘South West Heritage At Risk’ report (Historic England, 20151), the Rapid Coastal Zone Assessments (RCZAS) that have been undertaken to date or are being progressed across the study area, the second round of Shoreline Management Plans, and discussions with heritage officers and coastal engineers within the local authorities and coastal groups, together with many other consultees. It is important also to note that much of the south-west coast may have undiscovered archaeological/heritage potential and, therefore, future changes to the coast are likely to expose further sites of great interest. In parallel, a further review was made of reports relating to coastal erosion, cliff falls, landslides and flooding in the south-west through internet searches and newspaper and scientific article reviews. As a result of this wide-ranging research, a list of one hundred and seventy-six potential locations, comprising either coastal frontages or individual sites, was compiled. The second stage involved a review of these sites in order to establish those locations, which were not only affected by coastal risks, but also offered the best range of examples of heritage assets that might be affected by coastal change.
