Dorset granted permission on 24 August 2026, subject to any conditions on the decision notice. Work must normally begin within three years or the permission lapses. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
