Across these functions we also have a wider remit to contribute towards the achievement of sustainable development to form opinions on the state of the environment. We are committed to delivering environmental improvement at the local level and one of the ways we do this is through Local Environment Agency plans - or LEAPs for short. The LEAP process consists of a Consultation Draft, a Plan and Annual Reviews. The LEAP describes the environmental issues that we have Identified in the LEAP area and details the work or actions, as they are referred to, that we intend to undertake towards resolving these problems over the next five years. During the five years, the actions are monitored and we report on progress in a published Annual Review. This is the First Annual Review of the West Dorset LEAP which was originally published in 1999 and reports on progress from March 1999 to February 2000. The LEAP area is a collection of small river catchments sharing the common feature of flowing into the sea on the south coast of West Dorset. Development is concentrated in the east of the area around the town of Weymouth, the market town of Bridport is important in the west of the area. There are also three significant harbours, Weymouth, Portland and West Bay. The plan area lies entirely within

They began in July, 1948, when 100 copies were printed and llO were sold.

    Osmington Mills Holidays, Osmington Mills, Weymouth

    Application Number: WD/D/19/002903 Site address: Osmington Mills Holidays, Mills Road, Osmington Mills, Weymouth DT3 6HB Proposal: Use of land as a year round holiday park. Applicant name: Waterside Holiday Group Case Officer: Bob Burden Ward Member(s): Cllr Nick Ireland 2. Summary of Recommendation: Recommendation A: That the Committee would be minded to grant the application subject to the conditions and the completion of a section 106 agreement within 6 months of today’s date (for an ecological contribution of £1,911.30 to be paid prior to commencement of the development) as set out in the report and recommends that the Head of Planning determines the application accordingly. Recommendation B: That the committee would be minded to refuse the application for the reasons set out below if the legal agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) is not completed within 6 months from today’s date or such extended time as agreed by the Head of Planning and recommends that the Head of Planning determines the application accordingly: 1. In the absence of a satisfactory completed legal agreement there would be no mechanism to ensure payment of the required ecological contribution (£1,911- 30) in order to satisfactorily mitigate for the impacts of the development on the European protected heathlands. In these circumstances the scheme would be contrary to the Dorset Heathlands Planning Framework (2020-2025), Policy ENV2 of the West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Local Plan 2015 and the NPPF (2019). 3. Reason for the recommendation: • 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.

    RSPB SOUTH DORSET LOCAL GROUP NEWSLETTER No 60 January 2012 The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is a registered charity: England and Wales no. 207076, Scotland no.SC037654 The RSPB speaks out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environ- ment. Nature is amazing - help us keep it that way We belong to BirdLife International, the global partnership of bird conservation organizations . GROUP LEADERS COLUMN The indoor meetings programme this season has been notable for changes of speaker and there are further changes to come. The 15 th September meeting was to have been addressed by David Waters Chair of the Great Bustard Group. Andrew Taylor, formerly of Weymouth Wetlands now works for the Great Bustard Group and volunteered to give the talk becoming, I believe, the youngest speaker ever to address the group. At the second meeting Paul Buckley the Regional Conservation Manager at Exeter substituted for Dieter Hoffman and gave a talk on RSPB’s International Work. The November and December meetings went according to plan and hopefully the January and February 2012 meetings will also be as planned. The speakers for 15 th March, Rees Cox and 19 th April Nick Tomlinson have both had to cancel. After some thought I have offered the March 2012 date to a speaker I had originally hoped to book for March 2013 but I have yet to receive confirmation. We are also looking for a speaker from inside the group to give a short talk 45-60mins (max) after the AGM, any volunteers? After Bruce Painting left the committee at the last AGM I took on the Indoor Meetings Secretary’s role myself.

    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.

The District Council is required by Section 71 of the Town and Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of Conservation Areas. This can be achieved through Conservation Area Appraisals. West Dorset has 79 Conservation Areas and the council has agreed on a programme of character appraisals. Loders and Uploders and Powerstock and Nettlecombe Conservation Areas form part of this appraisal work, grouped together because of their geographical proximity. The two Conservation Areas were designated as follows: • Loders and Uploders, April 1975, revised February 1990 and December 2007 • Powerstock and Nettlecombe, January 1975 In order that designation is effective in conserving the special interest, planning decisions must be based on a thorough understanding of the Conservation Areas’ character.
