Purbeck Coastal Area Plan 2016 Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan: Purbeck Coastal Area Plan 2016 The Purbeck Coastal Area plan is a daughter document of the Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan and covers the coastal area of Purbeck. This plan has been written by the Dorset Coastal Community Team with input from Dorset Coast Forum members. Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan Purbeck Coastal Area Plan Key Information This document is linked to the Connecting Dorset Coastal Community Team Economic Plan and (Sections 1-4 can be found in this) 5.Local Area (Provide brief geographical description) The District of Purbeck was formed in 1974 on local government reorganisation. The district is located in the south east corner of Dorset. It contains all of the Poole Harbour islands and is home to the largest onshore oilfield in Europe, with an oil reserve stretching under Poole Harbour and over 10 miles out to sea. It is said to be one of the most bio diverse Districts in the country with heathland, grassland, woodland, farmland and wetland habitats. The coast of the District is included within the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For the purposes of the coastal community economic plan the Purbeck coastal area includes: Winfrith Newburgh West Purbeck Creech Barrow Corfe Castle Swanage Langton Matravers Lytchett Minster Wareham Wareham St Martin 6.Context – community (suggested maximum 300 words) (Description of local community with demographics) The 2011 census data shows the population of the Purbeck coastal area was 24,231 of which 15% were aged 0-15 years (England 19%), 58% were 16-64 (England 65%) and 27% were over 65 (England 16%). As such, it has a significantly smaller working age population than the national average and a much larger proportion of retirement age residents. The Purbeck coastal area had no areas of multiple deprivations however out of the 149 Lower Super Output Areas1 along the Dorset coastal area 3 of the least deprived areas for income deprivation fell within Purbeck and two of the least deprived for employment deprivation. In regards to the working population in Purbeck, 5247 people Live and work in the area, 2953 people who live in Purbeck commute out of the area for work and 2345 people who don’t live in Purbeck commute into the area for work. In commuters represent 31% of the workforce and, with more out commuters than in commuters, there is a net commuting loss of 610. A third of in commuters come from other parts of the Purbeck district. The rest of Purbeck district is the most significant out commuting destination, but Poole is almost as important, accounting for 1 LSOA: lower super output area- a small geography containing roughly 1,500 residents and 650 households 1 V3- 29 January 2016 Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan Purbeck Coastal Area Plan almost a quarter of out commuters. Purbeck employees are slightly less likely to be in high level occupations than the average of England. The top categories include skilled trades (16.8%), professional occupations (14.2%) and managers, directors and senior officials (14.1%). 7.Context – economy (suggested maximum 400 words) (Local economy, e.g. business, tourism, manufacture, etc, ‘Starting point’) In Purbeck, the level of economic activity is below the England average (75%) at 72.1% of the population employed. Of the economically active population in Purbeck, the percentage self-employed is above average (21%), the percentage unemployed is below average (3.8%) and the student population is slightly lower than average (3.2%). In Purbeck, an above average percentage of residents are in part time employment: 35% compared with 29% nationally. Part time workers are more likely to be paid below the living wage than full time workers. People in part time employment is 28.5% and part time workers are more likely to be paid below the living wage than full time workers. Purbeck’s largest employment sectors Accommodation & food services (20%); Manufacturing (13%); Health (11%); Arts, entertainment and recreation (11%). Workers in Accommodation & food services and in Retail are more likely to be paid below the living wage. Purbeck has an above average percentage of employees in employment working in low pay sectors – those with median earnings below the national average including agriculture, forestry & fishing; distribution; accommodation & food service; real estate; admin & support; health & social care; some manufacturing sectors; culture & recreation; other personal services. With the England average at 50% and DCC Dorset at 54%, Purbeck has 61% in low pay sectors. 39% of residents in Purbeck held high qualifications (NVQL3+) in 2011, above the England average while 35% hold low or no qualifications which is in line with the England average. Over the first half of 2015, claimant unemployment (Jobseekers Allowance and Universal Credit) in Purbeck was about 0.7%: below the county and England averages. This was an average of around 90 claimants. The age profile of claimants in Purbeck was similar to the England average with just over a fifth of claimants aged 16-64 and a further fifth aged 50+. Purbeck has a business population of 2,025 VAT/PAYE registered units. Wholesale, retail and motor industry account for 15.3% of all business units. Representation of micro sized business units employing fewer than ten employees is slightly below the England figure at 82%. With 1,660 micro businesses and a further 310 with 10-49 employees, there are around 50 businesses with more than 50 workers and only five employing 250 or more. Almost half of all Purbeck business units fall into four sectors; Retail; Construction; Accommodation & food services and Professional, scientific & technical. The LEP led by the District Council have just secured Enterprise Zone status for Dorset Green Technology Park in Winfrith. The commercial proposition is to create a sector focus in an advanced engineering cluster of excellence with a USP that builds on strengths in marine, defence and energy. The site which extends to 40 hectares contains 2 V3- 29 January 2016 Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan Purbeck Coastal Area Plan world advanced engineering companies engaged in submarine technologies.

Ambition (A positive statement of the aims and objectives of the plan and a description of what it will achieve. Description of ‘what success will look like’): Coastal communities that are thriving and have access to good facilities and services while retaining their functional and distinctive characters. At the same time, Purbecks excellent tourist facilities will serve its world-famous visitor sites and will continue to draw visitors to its coast, beaches, historic towns and villages. Settlements along the coastline will have enhanced connectivity with sustainable transport links and infrastructure. Purbeck’s exceptional landscape and internationally important habitats along the coast will be enhanced and protected in the face of modern pressures, including the effects of climate change. Coastal communities will be adaptable and the risk of flooding and erosion will be appropriately managed. 10. Needs of the community and intentions of the team to meet them.

  • Highly Derived Eutherian Mammals from the Earliest Cretaceous of Southern Britain
    Editors' choice Highly derived eutherian mammals from the earliest Cretaceous of southern Britain STEVEN C. SWEETMAN, GRANT SMITH, and DAVID M. MARTILL Sweetman, S.C., Smith, G., and Martill, D.M. 2017. Highly derived eutherian mammals from the earliest Cretaceous of southern Britain. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (4): 657–665. Eutherian mammals (Placentalia and all mammals phylogenetically closer to placentals than to marsupials) comprise the vast majority of extant Mammalia. Among these there is a phenomenal range of forms and sizes, but the origins of crown group placentals are obscure. They lie within the generally tiny mammals of the Mesozoic, represented for the most part by isolated teeth and jaws, and there is strongly conflicting evidence from phenomic and molecular data as to the date of origin of both Eutheria and Placentalia. The oldest purported eutherians are Juramaia from the Upper Jurassic of China, and Eomaia and Acristatherium from the Lower Cretaceous, also of China. Based on dental characters and analyses of other morphological and molecular data, doubt has recently been cast on the eutherian affinities of the Chinese taxa and consequently on the date of emergence of Eutheria. Until now, the only tribosphenic mammal recorded from the earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Group of Britain was the stem tribosphenidan Tribactonodon. Here we document two new tribosphenic mammals from the Purbeck Group, Durlstotherium gen. nov. and Durlstodon gen. nov., showing highly derived eutherian molar characters that support the early emergence of this clade, prior to the Cretaceous. Key words: Mammalia, Eutheria, dentition, Early Cretaceous, Purbeck Group, Britain, UK. Steven C. Sweetman [[email protected]], Grant Smith [[email protected]], and David M.

Introduction Thomas Edward Booth established the Booth Museum in 1874 as home for his burgeoning collection of mounted British birds in ‘natural surroundings’. The Museum he left to the local authority on his death in 1890 remained relatively unaltered through both world wars, although the rear office did become a store for some of the entomological collections formerly housed in Brighton Museum & Art gallery. With the arrival of John Morley as Director of the Royal Pavilion and Museums in 1968, a root and branch revitalisation of Brighton’s museum service began, resulting in the transformation of a mediocre provincial museum into a service of national and international importance. If this was achieved through the development of collections and exhibitions in the fine and decorative arts, it nevertheless resulted in the establishment of the Booth Museum, not as Booth’s original vision of a home for his unique collection but as a proto- regional museum encompassing the whole of natural history, not just birds.

  • Policy Group – 17 May 2017 Adoption of Swanage Local Plan
    Item 9 Policy Group – 17 May 2017 Adoption of Swanage Local Plan 1. Purpose of report To seek approval to adopt the Swanage Local Plan. 2. Key issues 2.1 Purbeck District Council has worked in partnership with Swanage Town Council and the Swanage Town and Community Partnership to prepare the Swanage Local Plan. The District Council submitted the Swanage Local Plan to the Planning Inspectorate in March 2016 and the planning inspector Sarah Housden has now submitted her report on the examination of the plan. The report concludes that the Swanage Local Plan provides an appropriate basis for planning for the town until 2027, providing that a number of main modifications are made to it. The main modification are very similar to those which were approved by the Council for consultation last year, but with two further very minor updates to clarify that the Workspace Strategy was published in 2016, and that the Dorset Environmental Records Centre ‘reports’ (rather than ‘records’) data on protected sites. 2.2 The Report on the Examination of the Swanage Local Plan is attached at Appendix 1, whilst Appendix 2 contains the appendix to the inspector’s report, setting out the main modifications that the inspector is recommending to make the plan sound. In addition to the main modifications, officers have prepared a Schedule of Additional Changes (Appendix 3) which are minor in nature and can be made by the Council on adoption of the plan without the need to be examined. Appendix 4 contains the final version of the Swanage Local Plan, including both the main modifications and the additional changes.

This unique stretch of coastline has joined the ranks of the Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon as one of the wonders of the natural world. The Jurassic Coast was designated a World Heritage Site in 2001 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) due to its outstanding geology, which represents 185 million years of earth history in just 95 miles. The variety of landslides, beaches, bays and cliffs results in a constantly changing landscape, with spectacular features such as the Hooken Landslide, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door. The Jurassic Coast is a world-famous educational resource and historically it has played a key role in the study of Earth Sciences. It is our duty to manage our World Heritage Site effectively and education plays a crucial role in all aspects of site management. What are World Heritage Sites? UNESCO World Heritage Sites are places of outstanding universal value. They are environments, buildings or artefacts which are particularly important to the history, culture and fabric of humanity as a whole.
