WEYMOUTH: Go ahead for home with conditions

A SCHEME to build a home in Weymouth has been backed by planners on condition  that drainage is looked at to deal with a “swamp” at the back of the property.

The development will build on part of a garden severed from an existing home in Manor Road.

Two previous schemes had been refused because of detrimental impact on adjoining properties, but a meeting of Weymouth and Portland planning committee granted this scheme despite objectors’ concerns over access, trees, poor consultation and overdevelopment.

Councillor John Birtwistle said: “I am very concerned by the swamp at the back.”

He asked for a condition to deal with that and members also approved others  involving windows, siting, materials, landscaping and trees.
