  • The Planning & Environment Committee
    The Planning & Environment Committee MILBORNE PORT PARISH COUNCIL The Minutes of the Planning & Environment Committee meeting held via Zoom video conference on: Tuesday 19th January 2021 @ 6:45pm Present: Councillors: Mr T. Carty (Vice-Chairman), Cllr. L MacArthur, Cllr. R. Lockey In attendance: Miss N Hetherington – Deputy Parish Clerk/Committee Officer, Cllr. S Dyke (SSDC), Cllr. W Wallace (SSC), Cllr. T Watts Public Question and Comment Time: No members of the public attended. Cllr. Carty called on Cllrs. Dyke and Wallace for any updates: Cllr. Dyke explained that an application which had been submitted to Dorset County Council last year relating to an address at Goathill Farm had been made in error and has been withdrawn, pending re-submission to Dorset and to South Somerset, as the proposed site for the development crosses the county boundaries. Cllr. Wallace reported that the work of Somerset County Council area committees, including county and district planning committees, has been impacted upon by staff redeployment to the Covid-19 response and the vaccine roll-out, thus delaying responses to planning applications and impacting upon the democratic process and the ability to call on experts as part of that process; Cllr. Dyke noted that this situation should only last for a further 2 months. Cllr. Carty reminded members and those in attendance of the 3 current applications concerning Milborne Port that are most in contention whose outcomes might be affected by these delays: Station Road development; sewing room application at Newtown (Cllr. Dyke reported that this has been withdrawn and will be resubmitted); caravan park at White House Farm, currently on hold due to phosphate issues.

The Task and Finish Group on Boundary Review was established by the Dorset Area Joint Committee to review the electoral arrangements for the Dorset area in anticipation of the agreement of the Structural Change Order to create two new unitary councils for Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole. The Group formed a submission based on a fall-back position and council size, which was submitted by the Joint Committee to the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in January 2018. Purpose of this report 2.1 The Task and Finish Group carried out a review of the electoral arrangements, in accordance with the timetable agreed with MHCLG. A principal objective of the review is that each electoral ward will be served, where possible, by a single councillor. In urban areas, it is accepted, however, that this may not be possible, where it may be more appropriate to elect two or three councillors. 2.2 Fall-back warding arrangements have been approved by the Dorset Area Joint Committee for inclusion within the Structural Change Order.
