Planning committee

Decided by Dorset Western and Southern Area Planning Committee on 10 Sept 2026.

Approved

Against officer advice: officers had recommended refusal.

  • Officers advised refusal because of heritage and residential amenity harm that public benefits would not outweigh.
  • The agent, Town Council representative and ward member supported the scheme, citing limited harm and community benefits.
  • The committee granted permission contrary to officers, finding economic and community benefits outweighed heritage, noise and disturbance impacts.

Dorset National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Lyme Regis Conservation Area 1 conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
South West Coast Path 11 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Special area of conservation 102 m away: Sidmouth to West Bay
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 102 m away: Chesil & The Fleet SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Also on the record

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
