Since posting our 4 April article below (“Whistler’s Wood”) it has been pointed out that the fourth paragraph was misleading. Although the WDDC Case Officer’s official Recommendation was for approval, at the 14 March meeting of the Development Control (Planning) Committee, Councillors were sufficiently concerned about objections raised, to defer a decision.
The Minutes of that meeting read: “That the decision be deferred for a member only site visit and for further negotiation on the details of the proposed Section 106 Agreement which is to be brought back to a future meeting of the committee for consideration.” (see www.dorsetforyou.com/408480 )
There is still time to make any views you have known to the WDDC Planning Committee as they do not meet again until the 16th of May 2013.
