A pop-up campsite is being planned for a farm at Chickerell, near Dorchester.

Dorset Council has been asked to make a decision on a 28-day consent for 50 pitches at Seaview Farm, Fleet Lane.

Plans submitted to the council show the site location with the positioning of temporary toilets, showers and recycling facilities, but with little other information.

Both Natural England and Dorset Council's environment team are being consulted on the application, over the possible consequences of setting up the site.

They are being asked for their comments on any perceived effect of the campsite might have on the local environment under Habitats Regulations.

A recent application for a campsite near Portland Bill ran into difficulties because of habitat rules, although complied with other aspects of a temporary site.

There it was said that the site would impact on the Chesil Bank and Fleet, although almost five miles away.

A similar stance was taken earlier in the year over proposals for a temporary Wareham campsite and the effects it might have on the Poole Harbour river catchment zone.

The environmental views on the Chickerell site are expected to be returned by September 9.

Details about the proposal can found on the Dorset Council planning website by searching reference number 2023/04797, although the public cannot comment on the application.
