Planning Consent Secured in North Dorset

Published: 15/09/2025

Symonds & Sampson is pleased to have recently gained planning consent on behalf of clients in North Dorset.

At Westbrook, near Gillingham, Class Q prior approval consent has been granted for two new dwellings. The scheme faced a number of challenges, including flood risk, drainage and ecology; however, working closely with trusted consultants and colleagues in our Survey & Design department, Andrew is pleased to report that all issues were successfully addressed and the consent granted.
 
Meanwhile, consent has been granted for two new dwellings to be built at Milborne Port. The application was a resubmission following an initial appeal dismissal and the imposition of nutrient neutrality requirements. Despite a sensitive location on the edge of the village and within the conservation area, a scheme was successfully presented addressing heritage, ecological and flood risk impacts.
 
Symonds & Sampson’s dedicated planning specialists have a wealth of experience within residential, agricultural and commercial sectors. For further information, please click here.
