The site is to the rear of homes in Upway Street, King Street and Commercial Road. It was once a coal depot and more recently run by Weymouth Reclamation as a scrap yard. The most recent application offered a mix of one and two-bed homes which it was said would improve the character and appearance of the conservation area and be a better neighbour for residents than the ‘unsightly’ scrap yard.
A PLAN has been approved to develop 27 acres of former farm land into a community hub. An exciting project will see the Tumbledown site, near Southill in Weymouth, become a site for growing food and plants while also becoming an educational and therapeutic space. Weymouth Town Council has approved the business plan which outlining how the site will be transformed into a sustainable and inclusive community asset. The town council partnered with Weymouth Area Development Trust (WADT) to develop these plans and manage the delivery of the project going forward. Results from a 2019 public consultation were used to identify key themes for the project. These include growing local food, providing opportunities for local people to access the space to improve health and wellbeing, harvesting of natural resources to promote sustainability and exploring income streams, such as food produce and growing plants in an on-site nursery.
