The extensive grounds have been tastefully landscaped and restored to their former glory including the ornamental pond (on which the Farrer family children raced motorised boats with war-time evacuees), now home to an impressive collection of Koi Carp. Our development heralds a new chapter in the history of the Estate, one that we hope you will be part of too. A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT STEEPED IN HISTORY Dating back t0 1867, this elegant mansion house and estate has been beautifully restored, retaining many of the attractive period features invoking its history yet tastefully combining modernity to create wonderful homes for 21st century living. Situated in the village of East Stoke on the River Frome, just a few miles from the county towns of Wareham and Wool, the Farrer Estate is surrounded by countryside of outstanding natural beauty. The main house, set within 17.5 acres of glorious grounds, was constructed in the Elizabethan style and became home to generations of the Farrer family until the mid-20th century. The Estate has a rich and varied heritage; the main house playing an important role in WWII, creating a happy home for evacuees escaping the blitz before being requisitioned by the Americans to house Army officers. Echoes of its past are evident in the painstakingly restored fireplaces, decorative mouldings and the retained servant’s bells, all of which combine to give the interiors a truly unique and unmistakably British sense of style. The family’s old stables are equally impressive buildings that we have also restored and redeveloped to create charming and characterful homes. 17 18 SITE PLAN THE COURTYARD COLLECTION 1 Coach House One 4 Bedroom Home 2 Coach House Two & Three Three Bedroom Homes 3 Coach House Four & Five Three Bedroom Homes THE MANOR HOUSE 4 West Wing - Ground Floor One & Two Bedroom Apartments 4 West Wing - First Floor One & Two Bedroom Apartments 5 East Wing - Ground Floor One & Two Bedroom Apartments 2 5 East Wing - First Floor Two & Three Bedroom Apartments 3 5 1 4 THE COURTYARD COLLECTION Set around a spacious courtyard, these five individual properties, with pleasing honey-coloured brick exteriors complemented by smart grey slate roofs and period sash windows, feature well-planned interiors with three or four double bedrooms.

It is how I respond to my world. I am driven by mood and intuition. I always begin outside. In that sense I am a landscape painter. Seasonal changes catch my attention and I can rarely resist the changing colours and textures of the natural year. I sketch and paint in watercolour, charcoal or oil then return to the studio where I make larger mixed media pieces guided by memory and feeling. Work gets cut down, torn up, collaged and reformed.

  • Piddle Valley Conservation Area Review
    Item 14 Council Meeting – 16 January 2018 Piddle Valley Conservation Area review 1. Purpose of report The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s approval to adopt the draft appraisal and boundary proposal prepared for Piddle Valley Conservation Area. 2. Key issues 2.1 The Council designates and reviews conservation areas in fulfilment of statutory duties under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Purbeck District has twenty five Conservation Areas, twenty-two of which have been appraised and reviewed since their designation, twenty-one of these since 2008. 2.2 A conservation area is a historic built environment designation. The designation promotes the preservation and enhancement of groups of buildings and structures which hold special historic or architectural interest, together with associated spaces and trees. This is primarily achieved through the sensitive management of change within the planning process. 2.3 Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) highlights the importance of ensuring that conservation area designations are justified. This is the key objective of the boundary review, and ensures fairness in the application of controls, and soundness in case of appeal against planning decisions. 2.4 The Council has a statutory duty to consider the impact of planning proposals upon conservation areas. This is reflected in paragraph 129 of the NPPF, which requires local planning authorities to assess the significance of heritage assets as part of the development management process. Assessment of significance is a key objective of conservation area character appraisals, and therefore provides the Council with an important part of the required evidence base in decision making.

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.

  • No 1 Wareham Camp
    Wareham in the First World War 1914-1918 No 1 Wareham Camp View of Wareham Camp from Worgret in 1915/16. The building left of centre is Robert Christmas House (then the workhouse), Arne Hill is in the centre, and the railway is in the cutting in the foreground. At the time of the outbreak of the war, Wareham was a small town of just over 2,000 people. The town was transformed during the war by the huge military camp built on the outskirts of the town, on both sides of the Worgret Road. It was known as Wareham Camp or Worgret Camp. Military training for units of the Territorial Army had taken place in the Wareham area for more than 50 years, because of the wide open spaces and easy access by train. These camps were tented, and temporary; the wartime Wareham Camp was built of wooden huts and existed for about eight years. Wareham was chosen as the site of a major camp in early September 1914, a month after Britain declared war on Germany. It was to be used as a base for training new recruits. The first arrivals were volunteers from Yorkshire, who had responded to Lord Kitchener’s famous call to sign up, “YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU.” Six hundred men arrived by train in Wareham to find that no preparations had been made for them. It was raining heavily and they were all soaked. Until tents arrived, they were accommodated in halls, churches, schools and private houses, and the townspeople provided blankets, food and cigarettes.

PRESENT Cllr Rebecca Cady – Vice Chairman Cllr Barry Quinn – District Cllr Cllr Tib Axon Cllr Karen Barnes Cllr Neill Child Cllr Paul Whitmarsh The Parish Council expressed condolences to Adrian Cullinane’s family after Adrian passed away suddenly on 30th March. Adrian had been a Cllr on the Parish Council since 1997. In accordance with the Standing Orders the Vice Chairman chaired the meeting in the absence of a Chairman. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were none for this meeting. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION TIME Gillian Topp attended the meeting to ask the Parish Council to clarify why planning permission was needed for a wind farm when the results on performance etc. for the anemometer mast were not yet known. She was concerned about the noise element especially at night. The Chairman advised that some Cllrs were due to take a bus trip to Burton Wold wind farm to experience at first hand the visual aspect of the turbines and to determine what noise they made. There were many kinds of turbine and no particular type of turbine had yet been decided on for Masters Pit. PLANNING APPLICATION 6/2008/0066 – D.
