  • 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.

Portland presents a complex and unique set of circumstances that needs very careful consideration and planning. We are grateful that the Localism Act 2012 has provided the community with the opportunity to get involved in that planning and to put in place a Neighbourhood Plan that must be acknowledged by developers. We must adhere to national planning policy and conform to the strategic policies of the West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Local Plan. Beyond that, we are free to set the land use policies that we feel are necessary. Over the past three years much research, several surveys, lots of consultation and considerable discussion has been carried out by a working group of local people.

  • 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.

  • 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-
