Representations received will be submitted with this final submission version of the plan, along with supporting documents, to the Planning Inspectorate for examination by an independent Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The examination process is subject to the Planning Inspectorate’s timeframes and resources. However, it is expected that the examination including oral hearings will take place in summer 2019 and that this stage will be completed in early autumn 2019. Following the examination in public, the Inspector will publish a report. If the report finds the Purbeck Local Plan 2018-2034 to be “sound”, the Council will formally adopt the plan. Once adopted, it will supersede the policies currently contained in the Purbeck Local Plan Part 1 (PLP1) adopted in 2012 and then will, together with the Swanage Local Plan (and any made neighbourhood plans), comprise the Development Plan covering the Purbeck area. Adoption is anticipated to take place in late 2019. 6 Purbeck District Council Purbeck Local Plan Presubmission Arrangements for commenting on the Presubmission Purbeck Local Plan timings and next steps Purbeck Local Plan Presubmission Purbeck District Council 7 Arrangements for commenting on the Presubmission Purbeck Local Plan timings and next steps Timings and next steps At this stage of the plan’s preparation, the focus of any representations made should primarily be concerned with the legal compliance, ‘soundness’ of the document and compliance with duty to co-operate. Plans are sound if they are: positively prepared – providing a strategy which, as a minimum, seeks to meet the area's objectively assessed needs; and is informed by agreements with other authorities, so that unmet need from neighbouring areas is accommodated where it is practical to do so and is consistent with achieving sustainable development; justified – an appropriate strategy, taking into account the reasonable alternatives, and based on proportionate evidence; effective – deliverable over the plan period, and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic matters that have been dealt with rather than deferred, as evidenced by the statement of common ground; and consistent with national planning policy – enabling the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). In particular, if you wish to make a representation seeking a change to the plan you should: be clear about which policy or paragraph, figure or part of the plan your representation relates to; state clearly why you consider the plan is not sound having regard to the above tests; provide supporting information or evidence to justify why the plan should be changed; and put forward the changes that you consider necessary to make the plan sound. The Purbeck Local Plan and all supporting documents and guidance on how to make a representation will be available on our website at www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/purbeck-local-plan-presubmission Hard copies of the Purbeck Local Plan are also available for inspection at the following locations: Purbeck District Council, Westport House, Worgret Road, Wareham, BH20 4PP (Mon – Thurs 8.45am – 4.45pm, and Fri 8.45am – 4.15pm) Corfe Castle Community Library, East Street, Corfe Castle (Mon 2.30pm-4.30pm, Wed 11.00am-12.00noon and 3.00pm-5.00pm, Sat 10.00am-12.00noon) 8 Purbeck District Council Purbeck Local Plan Presubmission Arrangements for commenting on the Presubmission Purbeck Local Plan timings and next steps Crossways Library, Old Farm Way, Crossways, DT2 8TU (Mon 2.30pm-5.00pm, Tue 10.00am-12noon/2.30pm-5.00pm, Wed 2.30pm-5.00pm, Thu 10.00am-12noon, Fri 3.30pm-6.00pm, Sat 10.00am-12noon) Dorchester Library and Learning Centre, South Walks House, Charles Street, Dorchester (Mon 10.00am-5.30pm, Tue 9.30am-7.00pm, Wed 9.30am-1.00pm, Thu 9.30am-5.30pm, Fri 9.30am-7.00pm, Sat 9.00am-4.00pm) Lytchett Matravers Library, High Street, Lytchett Matravers (Mon 9.30am-1.00pm/2.00pm-5.00pm, Tue 2.00pm-5.00pm, Thu 9.30am-1.00pm, Fri 2.00pm-7.00pm, Sat 9.30am-12.30pm) Poole Central Library, Dolphin Centre, Poole (Mon-Fri 9.00am-6.00pm, Sat 9.00am-5.00pm) Swanage Town Council, Town Hall, High Street, Swanage, BH19 2NZ (Mon-Fri 10.00am-1.00pm/2.00pm-3.00pm) Swanage Library, High Street, Swanage (Mon 10.00am-6.30pm, Wed 9.30am-5.00pm, Fri 9.30am-5.00pm, Sat 9.30am-4.00pm) Wareham Town Council, Town Hall, Wareham (Mon-Fri 10.00am-1.00pm) Wareham Library, South Street, Wareham (Mon 10.00am-5.00pm, Tue 9.30am-6.30pm, Wed 9.30am-4.00pm, Thu 9.30am-5.00pm, Fri 9.30am-5.00pm, Sat 9.00am-4.00pm) Upton Library, Corner House, Upton Cross, Poole (Mon 2.00pm-5.00pm, Tue 9.30am-12.30pm, Wed 9:30am-12.30pm/2.00pm–6.30pm, Fri 2.00pm-5.00pm, Sat 9.00am-12.30pm) Upton Town Council, 1 Moorland Parade, Moorland Way, Upton (Mon-Thu 9.00am-12.30pm, Fri 9.30am-11.30am) Wool Library, D’Urberville Centre, Colliers Lane, Wool (Tue 3.00pm-6.00pm, Thu 10.00am-12.00noon, Sat 10.00am-12.00noon) Representations must be made using the form supplied by the Planning Inspectorate which will be available on the website.

Core Strategy Preferred Options document This document will be made available in other languages, in large print or in the form of a radio transcription on request. Please telephone 01929 557339 if you need assistance with this document. Core Strategy Preferred Options document Foreword The Core Strategy will set out a vision for how Purbeck can create sustainable communities over the next 15-20 years. Its purpose is to proactively manage development and associated activities to make Purbeck a better place. It should identify the key assets of Purbeck which need protection, and take account of the aspiration of Purbeck’s residents so that development can better address their needs. It is important to recognise that new development, (whether new houses, employment uses, shops or other community facilities) will be an essential part of the equation. Undoubtedly development brings pressures and difficulties, but it can also help deliver our housing needs, help create a stronger economy, improve accessibility to shops and services, communication and health. The challenge for planning is to manage development and associated activities so that what is built meets the needs of present and future generations. Purbeck District Council is responsible for only a small amount of the activities that happen within the District, with other organisations in the public, private, and voluntary sectors providing many services.

    HRA of Purbeck Plan Review HRA of Purbeck Plan Review Date: 23rd January 2015 Version: Issues and Options Recommended Citation: Liley, D. (2014). Habitats Regulations Assessment of the Partial Review of the Purbeck Local Plan Part 1. Footprint Ecology. HRA of Purbeck Plan Review Summary This report provides the Habitats Regulations Assessment of the plan review of the Purbeck Local Plan, being undertaken by Purbeck District Council. The current Local Plan (PLP1) was adopted in November 2012. It is Government policy that local planning documents are continually reviewed in order to remain up to date and informed by current evidence on local economic, social and environmental needs, and national legislation and planning policy. Purbeck District Council is undertaking a review relatively quickly after adoption of the current plan. This is because PLP1 followed a precautionary approach in planning for less housing than was forecasted as needed for the plan period. Initial screening of the draft Partial Review Issues and Options document identified a range of likely significant effects including those options relating to the overall volume of housing, locations for development, meeting employment needs, managing internationally protected heathlands, Morden country park and tourist accommodation. A number of uncertainties and potential risks were identified in the screening table, but which cannot be assessed in detail at this stage. These issues should be noted by the Council to inform the development of the plan, but more detailed assessment will only be possible once further information is available with regard to the options proposed. The preliminary appropriate assessment work has focussed in detail on the seven large housing sites put forward to Purbeck District Council by landowners and developers, and has also considered implications of the employment sites identified and the proposal for a country park and tourist accommodation at Morden.

    Parish, Town Councils submissions to the Purbeck District Council electoral review This PDF document contains 14 submissions from parish and town councils. Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. Click on the submission you would like to view. If you are not taken to that page, please scroll through the document. Response to Local Government Boundary Commissions proposals for new Purbeck District Council ward boundaries. To the Review Officer, Purbeck review I am writing as the Chair of Morden Parish Council. The proposal to place Morden and Bloxworth in the Wareham St Martins ward goes against the principles of grouping communities together which have similar interests and historic and current social links. Morden and Bloxworth are both very small rural communities with no shop, school, street lights etc., all community action is by volunteers and self‐ help. Morden is in the catchment area of Lytchett Matravers primary school and the school busses take the children to the primary and then the secondary school in the Lytchett Minster. Bloxworth children usually go to Bere Regis first school but eventually all the children end up at Lytchett Minster Secondary school using the same bus. Morden and Bloxworth are part of the Red Post Benefice/Parish and share the same vicar and Parish Magazine. The Churches link with Bere Regis Parish and their Parish news is in the Red Post Magazine. All the parish links are West‐East in the area north of the A35, the bus service goes from Poole – Dorchester via Bere Regis. There is no public transport to Wareham or Sandford, therefore many residents use the Bere Regis or Lytchett Matravers doctors surgeries.

  • Iron Age Maritime Nodes on the English Channel Coast. an Investigation Into the Location, Nature and Context of Early Ports and Harbours
    IRON AGE MARITIME NODES ON THE ENGLISH CHANNEL COAST. AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE LOCATION, NATURE AND CONTEXT OF EARLY PORTS AND HARBOURS. EILEEN WILKES- A thesis submitted in two volumes in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Volume I October 2004 Bournemouth University Abstract Studies of Iron Age coastal sites in southernBritain have previously concentratedon Hengistbury Head, Dorset and Mount Batten, Devon. These sites have coloured our understandingof late Iron Age cross-Channelinteractions. The possibility of many other coastal sites being identified has been dismissed due to the assumption that they would be archaeologically unrecognisable. This study was established to review this question on the southern coast of England. The aim was to determine the criteria and method by which Iron Age coastal sites might be identified, to apply that method, and to model how the suggestedsites might have interacted. The physical nature of the English Channel coast in the Iron Age, contemporary vessels, and their port or harbour requirements are considered, and related to referencesin classical literature to Britain, the Channel and seafaring. Information from the coastal county Sites and Monuments Records, excavation records and published sourcesthen provides an overview of the English Channel in the Iron Age. The characteristics of Iron Age coastal sites are determined and a list of key physical traits is developed. The list is applied to the Iron Age coast and 40 possible sites identified. Each is then classified as `definite', `probable', or `potential'. A gazetteerof all the sites is presentedin Appendix One. The sites are considered as `nodes' - interface points on the maritime network - between sea-ways and their hinterland.

    Local resident submissions to the Dorset County Council electoral review This PDF document contains all local resident submissions. Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Dorset County Personal Details: Name: Anne Clements E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: The new boundary for Maiden Newton ward is much better as we are the hub village for Wynford Eagle, West Compton, Toller Fratrum and Toller Porcorum. Less convinced about Kingcombe Wraxall Hooke and Rampisham though. It would be better to place these within another ward. Also it makes no sense for Chilfrome Chalmington and Frome St Quintin to be in the same ward as Sydling. There is no connection between the two valleys. This latter group should be in with Maiden Newton, making boundaries of the A37 to one side and the roman road to the south. So my proposal would be that the Maiden Newton Ward should comprise: Maiden Newton, Compton Valence, West Compton, Toller Fratrum and Toller Porcorum Cattistock, Chilfrome, Chalmington and From St Quintin. Sydling and Up sydling should go in with Grimstone, Stratton, Forston, Godmanstone, Neter Cerne , Cerne Abbas and Up Cerne. Having lived in both Sydling and Maiden Newton, the dividing line of the A37 is a strong one, with most of Sydling's links being with Cerne Abbas and the Cerne Valley. Maiden Newton's boundaries need to encompass the villages currently in the Sydling group but Maiden Newton side of the main road. There is no strong linkage between Sydling and Chilfrome, Chalmington and Frome St Quintin.
