Weymouth Action
URGENT - Object to the NEW Weymouth Relief Road planning application
Deadline: 5th February 2007
Dorset County Council have now withdrawn their 2005 planning application as
it was too controversial. However, there is a new application. Registering
your objection only takes 2 minutes and must be done by 4 Dec. Last time there
were 1024 objections, and it is vital there should be even more objections
with the new application.
Please go to Dorset
County Council's website to register your objection. You only need to
fill in your name, address and email address and press Submit.
If you would like to make a comment (optional) you could cut and paste the
following into the comments box:
"I wish to register an objection to the Planning Applications 1/E/06/2193
and 06/859/DCC3 for the proposed Weymouth Relief Road.
The proposed road would cause unacceptable damage to the South Dorset Ridgeway
in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Southdown Ridge in the Area
of Local Landscape Interest, the Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Lorton Meadows
Nature Reserve and Ancient Woodland in Two Mile Coppice in the Lorton Site
of Special Scientific Interest. In addition, the tranquillity of these areas
and the surrounding countryside would be destroyed with high-speed traffic
noise.
Government policy requires Dorset County Council to fully explore all possible
alternatives before it proposes such a damaging road scheme and I am not convinced
that it has done so."
