WEYMOUTH Town Council is inviting residents to an online Full Council meeting to share their thoughts about the Dorset Council Local Plan, which will shape the area for the future. The plan sets out guidelines for meeting the region s housing, infrastructure and facilities needs for the future. It contains proposals for around 2,720 new homes to be built in the Weymouth Town Council area by 2038, as well as regeneration of the town centre and waterfront to the west of the main shopping area.

FULL details of plans for almost 30,500 new homes in Dorset have emerged in the county s Local Plan - which has been slammed as rushed and inadequate by campaigners. Residents are being urged to share their views in one of the most important surveys in a generation for the county. But a campaign group claims residents will not have time to digest the information in hundreds of pages of documents before the consultation ends. The Government has said 30,481 new homes must be built in Dorset by 2038 - around 1,793 each year. Residents have until March 15 to share their views on where the homes should be built, and which areas should be protected from developments.
