  • The Weymouth Mission
    The Weymouth Mission This story of Christian witness in Dorset is based on an account drawn up in 1991, using documents and photographs from the Parish archives, at the request of Fr Patrick Mulvaney, and Fr Joseph Phelan who were at that time Parish Priests at St Augustine’s and St Joseph’s Churches respectively. The original archive is now believed lost. The account also includes a contribution from the late Gwen Greenslade OPL who researched the history of the Dominican Order in Weymouth. In the Beginning... Christianity in South Dorset goes back to Roman times. Constantine the Great allowed toleration to Christians in 313 AD and Christianity became the State Religion of the Empire in 324 AD. The mosaic floor at Hinton St Mary depicts Christ and the chi-rho sign. Many of the burials at Poundbury indicate Christians. Perhaps the Roman settlement at Radipole had Christians in its population during the 4th Century. When the Saxons broke through to Dorset in the 7th century they were mainly Christians, as St Augustine and friends had done their work well in the South East. By the 13th century, Weymouth on the west bank of the harbour, and Melcombe on the east side were fully fledged towns. The Church at Radipole is said to be the oldest building in the Weymouth area and dates from about 1250. It was originally dedicated to St Mary, and served Melcombe Regis. All Saints Church at Wyke served Weymouth. The French had a nasty habit of raiding the towns when the inhabitants were away attending Mass at the two churches.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Situated on the north shore of the harbour and extending to Lodmoor Hill, it includes Weymouth seafront, town centre and the residential areas of Greenhill and the Park District. Yet, despite its attributes it is the Borough ward with most evidence of multiple deprivation and is within the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods in the country (Public Health England Local Health Profiles 2015). It scores high levels of deprivation in living environment; education; skills and training; health; employment; income and crime. The area has seen few improvements since the previous index was published in 2010. Melcombe Regis has many great features that are enjoyed by locals and thousands of visitors every year. But it is a ward with many constituent parts. The blend of private and rented housing, homes of multiple occupancy; hotels; guesthouses and retail; commercial and leisure activities make up a very diverse area. Despite performing relatively well, Melcombe Regis has suffered from the structural decline of seaside resort towns, low paid seasonal jobs and cheap, poorer quality housing has created a high transient population many with complex needs. Health and wellbeing is affected by a variety of factors, some of which are amenable to change, either by personal choice such as diet or by external influences, for instance changes to the local environment.
