  • Passengers to Get Faster Journeys Between Somerset and Dorset Following Bridge Renewal at Yetminster
    Passengers to get faster journeys between Somerset and Dorset following bridge renewal at Yetminster January 17, 2020 Network Rail is to carry out upgrades between Castle Cary and Weymouth over a series of weekends this spring to provide passengers with a more reliable railway and faster journeys. Between January and April, engineers will strengthen tunnels, bridges and refurbish and renew track on the Heart of Wessex line, which links Weymouth and Bristol. The main area of work is at Yetminster in Dorset where a 129-year-old bridge crossing the River Wriggle will be renewed. This requires the closure of the line for six days between Yeovil Pen Mill and Weymouth from Saturday 15 February to Friday 21 February when buses will replace trains. Replacement transport will run between Weymouth and Yeovil Pen Mill to connect with Great Western Railway (GWR) train services towards Bristol Temple Meads. Engineers will work around the clock to replace the deck of Yetminster river bridge, providing a new, a more reliable support for track. There will also be further closures over four weekends to complete the other upgrades to the line. With the new bridge deck installed, a long-standing speed restriction will be removed to provide passengers with faster journeys between Somerset and Dorset, whilst reducing maintenance requirements in the future. Mark Killick, Network Rail Wessex route director, said: “There is never a good time to close an important line for the area’s communities, and we are sorry for the inconvenience the closures will cause. “This significant piece of work to the bridge will be much easier to maintain and together with a reinforced tunnel and new and refurbished track, there will be a much more reliable railway and better journeys for our passengers.” James Wilcox, GWR’s Station Manager for Castle Cary, said: “This package of works will improve reliability on the route for years to come, and once complete and the speed restriction lifted, this will allow us the opportunity to improve journeys times.

  • Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland
    Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland INITIAL ISSUES AND OPTIONS CONSULTATION FEBRUARY 2017 West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland Local Plan Review Foreword We are delighted to introduce the review of the West Dorset, Weymouth & Portland joint Local Plan. Although it is only a short time ago since the examination and adoption of the joint Local Plan, the inspector who examined the plan said that the councils should prepare an early review. This review needs to identify additional land capable of meeting housing needs to the end of the current plan period (2031) as well as the broad locations for development in the five year period thereafter (to 2036). The inspector pointed towards Dorchester and Sherborne as locations for future growth, but we have also considered a range of options in our coastal and market towns. Government planning policy has changed on a number of issues including the introduction of ‘starter homes’ and ‘self build and custom housebuilding’ aimed to fulfil the Government’s priority to build more homes. We are therefore addressing these issues too. This first consultation document presents the issues relevant to the plan area today and seeks your thoughts on the different options that we can take. It is important to remember that these are ‘options’ which will be refined at a later stage - there is no commitment to any one solution at this point. The review of the adopted local plan is just starting and we are keen to seek as many different views as possible before we go any further. Your views are really important to us and the feedback we receive will guide decisions as the plan progresses towards examination and adoption.

  • HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT Produced March 2018 and Updated June 2021 by the Yetminster and Ryme Intrinseca Neighbourhood Plan Group
    1 YETMINSTER & RYME INTRINSECA NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT produced March 2018 and updated June 2021 by the Yetminster and Ryme Intrinseca Neighbourhood Plan Group 1. INTRODUCTION This assessment of housing need for the combined parishes of Yetminster and Ryme Intrinseca forms part of the evidence base for the Yetminster and Ryme Neighbourhood Plan. It was prepared by the Neighbourhood Plan housing working group and was checked by Planning Consultant Jo Witherden BSc(Hons) DipTP DipUD MRTPI. The Neighbourhood Plan must be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the development plan and cannot disregard the local authority’s housing target. The West Dorset Local Plan was adopted in October 2015 and extends to 2031. The Local Plan is being reviewed, and some of the emerging evidence is also relevant. A Joint Local Plan Review for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland commenced with the specific objective to ‘identify additional housing land capable of meeting housing need to 2036’ and a draft plan was published for consultation in August 2018 (following an Issues and Options consultation in February 2017). More recently the first draft of the Dorset Local Plan has been published, which will be adopted by 2023 with an end date of 2038. The Neighbourhood Plan area does not constitute a housing market on its own and the Local Plan does not identify a specific housing need at a village level. At the time of producing the initial housing assessment report there was no indicative housing target agreed with the Local Planning Authority. This Housing report was therefore produced to consider data from a range of sources in order to determine an indicative target for the amount of housing development that the Neighbourhood Plan area can contribute (i) within the wider context of the strategic housing market area, (ii) in relation to the emerging Local Plan Review housing target up to 2036, and (iii) in the light of local constraints and objectives.

  • Section 2: Development Strategy ______
    Section 2: Development strategy ______________________________________________________________________________ The strategy for sustainable growth 2.1. Introduction 2.1.1. The Dorset Council Local Plan’s overarching objective is to contribute to achieving sustainable development, which is generally accepted as being ‘development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. 2.1.2. In planning terms sustainable development has three objectives which need to be pursued in mutually supportive ways – an Economic Objective, a Social Objective and an Environmental Objective. Figure 2.1: Sustainable Development Objectives 2.1.3. Using the Dorset Council Local Plan in planning decisions will influence the future patterns of development to help make Dorset more sustainable. This chapter sets out the strategic approach that will enable sustainable growth to meet the needs of Dorset to 2038. It will outline the levels of housing, economic and other development that are to be accommodated. It seeks to promote sustainable patterns of development as embodied within the Dorset Council Local Plan’s Vision and to help address the Strategic Priorities. 1 | Dorset Council Local Plan Section 2: Development strategy ______________________________________________________________________________ Vision and strategic priorities 2.1.4. The Dorset Council Local Plan Vision reflects the environmental quality of the area and builds on the way that the pattern and hierarchy of settlements in Dorset currently function. The opportunities for growth at the market and coastal towns are recognised alongside those of the main centres of economic activity of South East Dorset and the Dorchester to Weymouth corridor. The Vision also recognises the needs of the more rural areas outside these centres.
