While the Issues and Options report undertook its own scoping exercise considering the range of potential planning constraints, this Stage 1 assessment involves a more specific independent consideration of landscape and heritage issues. 1.2 Each of the ten settlements is assessed by the ‘Broad Search Area’ identified in the Issues and Options Consultation document, as well as some additional sites subsequently omitted following consultation (these affect Bridport and Crossways). 1.3 For ease of reference between the two exercises, the conclusions made by the Issues and Options Consultation document are included in the assessment tables, but note that – as above – these consider the full range of planning constraints. It is also important to emphasise that this new, independent assessment has not been influenced by the conclusions made at that time. 1.4 The table below explains the colour coding applied to these Stage 1 assessments, used to indicate whether Broad Search Areas are recommended to be scoped in/out of further detailed Stage 2 study on landscape and/or heritage grounds. In some cases, the Broad Search Areas present clear geographical differences in levels of likely sensitivity to development, requiring a split in the Stage 1 scoring at the Broad Search Area level. Note that as this is a high level scoping exercise, more intricate exclusions of individual sites or features within the Broad Search Area was not undertaken. Broad Search Areas recommended for Stage 2 assessment will be subject to further refinement in terms of their boundaries, and sites/features present within them will be assessed thoroughly using a criteria-based approach. Table explaining colour coding applied to the Stage 1 landscape and heritage assessments Colour coding Definition Green Area to be taken through to more detailed Stage 2 assessment; no significant landscape or heritage sensitivities have been identified in Stage 1. Amber Area to be taken through to more detailed Stage 2 assessment, but it is likely to have some landscape and/or heritage sensitivities that will affect the siting and scale of development able to be accommodated. Red Area scoped out of Stage 2 on landscape and/or heritage grounds. 1.5 Following the Stage 1 landscape and heritage assessments undertaken at the Broad Search Area level, overall conclusions are presented for each settlement, setting out the following: Broad Search Areas scoped out of Stage 2 on landscape/heritage grounds Broad Search Areas scoped out of Stage 2 on other grounds (i.e. non-landscape/heritage planning constraints) Summary of Broad Search Areas to be taken forward to Stage 2 for more detailed assessment. 1.6 It is important to note that Broad Search Areas taken forward to Stage 2 may still be assessed as of high sensitivity to development (on landscape and/or heritage grounds) following more detailed assessment and field verification undertaken during this stage. 1 Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland.

  • Section 34: Western Dorset Functional Area ______
    Section 34: Western Dorset Functional Area ___________________________________________________________ 34. Western Dorset Functional Area Introduction 34.1.1. The Western Dorset Functional Area is centred on the historic market town of Bridport and includes the small market town of Beaminster and the coastal resort of Lyme Regis. Function and issues 34.1.2. The function of each of the main settlements is described in Figure 34.1 below, which also highlights some of the key issues in each of the main settlements. The three towns generally have a good range of services and some job opportunities, but there is a range of issues including: a low wage economy; an ageing population; a lack of affordable housing; and, in the case of Lyme Regis and in some villages, a high level of second home ownership. Figure 34.1: The function and issues associated with the main settlements in the Western Dorset Functional Area Beaminster - The small market town of Beaminster lies about 6 miles north of Bridport and has a population of about 2,900. The town has a range of local shops and facilities in the town centre and a secondary school. Although the Clipper Tea Company and other firms offer some employment opportunities, there is a net outflow of workers. The town has an elderly population and has experienced a decline in population in recent years. Bridport - Bridport is a historic market town, which together with West Bay has a population of over 13,900. It is the main service centre in the western part of Dorset and a centre for the arts, culture and tourism.

  • 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.

  • Allen, Vandelow Hobman – Entrepreneur
    Vandelow Hobman Allen - Entrepreneur Graham Davies April 2020 Van Allen (1893-1953) was well-known in Lyme Regis from the 1920s to 1950s. He was a business man with a wide range of interests and skills. Some in the town thought of him as ‘a bit of a spiv’, but talking to his family, you get the impression of a good hearted man who did many of his deals on the shake of hands. Van Allen was born in Stratton, Dorset, where his father Samuel Allen was a coal merchant. In the late 1890s Samuel moved his family, wife Sarah and their seven children, to Beaminster in Dorset to become inn keeper at the Sun Inn, East Street. Samuel Allen died in 1901. Sarah remarried the following year to a Walter Russell and the family continued to live at the Sun Inn. Van Allen was a solicitor’s clerk by the age of seventeen. He married Equilla Marian Hansford in December 1915 at Beaminster Parish Church, and served in WWI as a corporal in the Royal Army Medical Corps. At the end of WWI, Van Allen, with his wife and young son James, came to live in Lyme Regis at No.34a, Coombe Street. Their daughter Marjorie was born in 1920. It was from here, during the next seven years, that he embarked on a diverse entrepreneurial career. Shop at 34 Coombe Street Mr Van H Allen, Lyme Regis, the well-known card manipulator and entertainer, Is prepared to attend private parties, diners etc. Any distance – reasonable terms. In 1925, Van Allen and his family moved to Pyne House, No.10 Broad Street.
