Southover Farm Slurry Lagoon Planning Application – WD/
D/18/001035
A discussion surrounding the proposed conditions that may be applied to any
grant of permission of this application took place at the Parish Councils
November meeting. This was in the light of representations made by the
applicant to extend the times of trailer movements as well as increasing their
number from those proposed in an initial draft of conditions by Dorset County
Council.
The Parish Council expressed considerable concerns around the proposals made
by the applicant which indicate more tractor and trailer movements than were
disclosed in the original planning application. The Parish Council will discuss its Ringers in the Tower after “Battle’s Over Tribute”
concerns with Dorset County Council.

It is proposed to revisit the issues again at the December Parish Council Meeting In addition to our newest ringers, those taking part during the historic day were
Adrian Standfield (Tower Captain), Jenny Clifford, Felicity Masheder, Liz Webb,
Terry Kent, Alan Townsend and John Cleave.

All of us ringers want to take this opportunity to wish all of you listeners and readers
a very Happy Christmas and New Year!
