Land South Of Fullers Development

The detailed planning shown was published on this website on 19th February (You can read the post HERE).  There remains some confusion as what the planning application WD/D/21/000123 is for.

The developers have already outlined planning permission to build 22 houses and this has been approved. Application WD/D/21/000123 is concerned with the layout, landscaping and possibly the most important – what traffic calming measures will be in place on the Salway Ash road?

Councillor David Leader commented: “In essence we can’t stop the houses from being built but we can potentially influence the layout, design, traffic calming and landscaping. Residents can make their own comments and the Parish Council will submit their collective view based on residents’ opinions and their own.
Please be aware that there are two applications for the land south of Fullers, one is the original outline application which has been passed. The one we need to consider is WD/D/21/000123.
Cllr. Dorothy Rowe and I are collating residents’ views and have spoken to many. I would urge residents to contact us with their views and to make their comments on the Dorset Planning website. We don’t have long to do this.”

The matter is an item on the Parish Council’s agenda for their meeting on Monday 8th March.
