Following two public consultation events held on Monday 3rd and Wednesday 5th December regarding the potential relocation of Weymouth Football Club and subsequent residential development on the existing site, the deadline for feedback has now passed and responses are being collated.
Ahead of any planning application to the local authority Wessex Delivery will be analysing all communications in relation to both schemes and incorporating suggestions where possible.
A total of 121 members of the public attended Monday’s exhibition relating to the creation of a new community stadium at Lodmoor (with 42 comment sheets and emails received in response) and a significantly smaller attendance of only 23 took the opportunity to view the plans for a residential development on the enabling Wessex site (with 11 comment sheets or emails received). Both events created the opportunity to answer questions and respond to concerns from local residents and the team were pleased with the level of positive support.
Discussions continue to be held with the football club and stakeholders with a door remaining open for any interested parties.
Having taken on board all feedback, formal planning submissions are to be made to the local authority in forthcoming weeks.
Full and detailed information on both schemes is available to view on www.wessexdelivery.co.uk.
