What will make a difference? • The evidence that ‘services’ are often sticking plasters: • That crime is not much diminished by policing • That health is not much improved by medicine • The key is to • Create sustainably prosperous places • Develop inclusive and cohesive communities • Make the most of all of the assets of places • Ensure that people are not isolated or excluded • Encourage people to be active and engaged What is the potential for Towns and Parishes?

Dorset, Wiltshire, Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, Torbay, Plymouth, Cornwall. Somerset is missing out • Change to what? A brand new ‘One’ council. This is not a takeover.

  • Screening Review of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014
    Cabinet 8 September 2020 Screening Review of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 For Decision Portfolio Holder: Cllr D Walsh, Planning Local Councillor(s): All Wards Executive Director: John Sellgren, Executive Director of Place Report Author: Trevor Badley Title: Lead Project Officer (Minerals & Waste) Tel: 01305 224675 Email: [email protected] Report Status: Public Recommendation: That: i) it be noted that following Screening of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 for Review, a full or partial Review of the Minerals Strategy will not be undertaken this year. Officers will continue monitoring the Minerals Strategy 2014 and it will be screened again in 2021. ii) the Dorset Council Local Development Scheme is updated accordingly to reflect these actions. iii) the 2020 Review of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 , attached as an Appendix to this report, is made publicly available. Reason for Recommendation: Paragraph 33 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 requires that a local plan should be reviewed after five years to consider whether a formal full or partial Plan Review is required. To ensure that Dorset Council complies with this requirement, the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 was screened to assess whether a full or partial Review was required. It was found that a Review did not need to be initiated this year. The Dorset Council Local Development Scheme needs to be updated to reflect this, and planning guidance requires that the report of the screening exercise is made publicly available. 1. Executive Summary The Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 (MS) was adopted more than five years ago, and as required by the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 it has been assessed to determine whether a formal full (the whole document) or partial (only selected policies) Review is required.

Eastern Dorset Strategic Housing Market Assessment 3 2.3. Western Dorset Strategic Housing Market Assessment 6 2.4. Other strategic housing market assessments 8 2.5. Functional economic market areas and travel to work areas 10 3. Conclusions 12 1. Introduction 1.1.1. The draft Dorset Council Local Plan includes a spatial strategy for the distribution of future growth, a key element of which is the distribution of housing development. 1.1.2. The draft Local Plan identifies a ‘local housing need’ figure for Dorset derived from the Government’s standard methodology, which is set out in national planning guidance. The draft Local Plan also recognises that the Government is currently considering changing the way in which housing targets are calculated. 1.1.3. The spatial strategy has been developed having regard to a number of factors, one of which is the way housing markets and local economies differ and interact across and beyond Dorset. 1.1.4. This background paper pulls together the findings of various studies on local housing and economic markets, in particular the Housing Market Areas (HMAs) and Functional Economic Market Areas (FEMAs) in Dorset, Somerset and the New Forest. Most of this information is already available in Strategic Housing Market Assessments (SHMAs) and other evidence, including research undertaken for the Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West. 1.1.5. The spatial strategy has also been developed having regard to the role and function of individual settlements within the Dorset Local Plan area.
