Dorset Council has approved the proposals for Units 22 - 26, which will include the creation of a mezzanine level, additional cycle storage, the installation of an acoustic box and external plant, together with updates to the building’s exterior.
A nearby proposal for container storage at Site P, Osprey Quay, Hamm Beach Road, close to Starbucks, was refused after a series of objections from residents and the town council which argued that the site would detract from the surrounding landscape on an important access route to and from Portland.
Elsewhere on Portland Dorset Council has granted permission for home upgrades, heritage restorations, coastal improvements and commercial changes.
One of the most visible changes will be at Victoria Gardens, Victory Road, where the council has approved the removal of the ageing chain‑link fencing and entrance gate and their replacement with galvanised grey fencing and a modern gate. The upgrade aims to improve the appearance and security of the popular Portland green space.

In Fortuneswell, listed building consent was granted for new conservation rooflights and repairs to the roof, walls and doors at 165 Fortuneswell, ensuring the character of the historic property is maintained while allowing upgrades to proceed.
