HOLIDAY business applications feature in new proposals to Dorset Council in the area around Dorchester.

They include two notifications about temporary campsites – at Ringstead and on the southern outskirts of the county town.

Among the planning applications, recently submitted, is an application for 26 solar panels on the roof of the café/shop at Ringstead.

At Abbotsbury another attempt is being made to convert the first floor and extend the café at Abbey Barn while at Silverlake, Crossways there are new developments proposed for the Laverack Lakeside & Reddington Rise areas of the holiday homes complex.
