How the scheme would look Image: Pure Town Planning Limited A RESIDENT has suggested a site earmarked for a drive-through Starbucks and business site development on Portland should instead be used as a car park – as the proposals await a decision from council planners. Two commercial buildings - one made up of five units and another of four units - would be built on the eastern section of the site to be occupied by commercial and storage and distribution businesses. The applicant said the development would bring investment to Portland and create a ‘significant economic benefit to the local area including through job creation’.
