Approval for traveller site opposed by Martin Clunes delayed at last minute
The Doc Martin actor has opposed the plans for land next to his Dorset home.
A planning application for a travellers’ site next to the home of actor Martin Clunes has been deferred once again just before it was set to be approved by councillors.
The Doc Martin star and other villagers in Beaminster, Dorset, have objected to the plans by Theo Langton and Ruth McGill.
The couple, who have lived in a 45ft by 16ft mobile home on land they own at Meerhay for 25 years, have applied for planning permission to continue living there permanently.
Officers at Dorset Council had recommended the plans for approval when the western and southern area planning committee meets next on Thursday.
But the case has now been deferred after concerns were raised about the risk of flooding at the site.
