Dear Supporters

Please show your support for Dorset Council planners and comment on this Dorset Echo news item

The EA have been keeping us informed email 15 March 2023 13:13:
“In respect of your specific question on the Proposal Summary – Final 2023.pdf, I have been informed that, as requested by the local authority, our air quality team (AQMAU) explained their interpretation of the applicant’s assessment and shared their initial report which confirmed that we consider the applicant’s air quality assessment to be suitable for use in determining the permit.
I must stress, that this is not the same as saying that we will agree to their assessment, only that it is fit for us to use for determination.
How the Planning Authority incorporate this information into their decision-making process is not within our control.
In accordance with our guidance, once a decision is made, we will either refuse the application, or issue a “minded-to” document which will initiate a further round of public consultation. Interested parties will be informed via a briefing note.
I hope this adequately answers your questions.
Kind regards
Wessex Engagement Team”
The EA “no objection” to the planning application is with the caveat “subject to conditions and informatives”.
So please remain confident our team is well prepared.
