  • Dorset & South Wiltshire
    Groundwater Situation Report Wessex (Dorset & South Wiltshire) Update 12th September 2017 Current situation Current forecast risk of groundwater flooding There are currently no groundwater flood alerts for Salisbury Plain, Cranborne Chase and the West of Dorset. The latest summary of the water situation in the South West, giving details of the rainfall, groundwater levels and river flows, can found on the GOV.UK website. The link to these pages is below: August finished much drier than it started. Overall for the month the long term average (LTA) for August was ‘normal’ at 95% LTA, 62 mm. The rivers responded well to the rainfall and most flows reflect the geographical distribution of the rainfall, drier in the north and west and wetter in the south and east. Most rivers are now ‘normal’ for the time of year though South Newton on the groundwater dominated Chalk is ‘below normal’ for the time of year. The groundwater sites show a mixed response with some groundwater sites responding to the wetter than average summer, 134% LTA, whilst others on the Chalk and Greater Oolite are still ‘notably low. Several boreholes have received significant recharge this month and were still increasing at month end others while still receding are doing so at a lower rate. Sites on the Greater Oolite and Chalk are ‘notably low’ for the time of year. Many others are ‘normal’ with the exception of Kingston Russell Road, situated in the West Dorset catchment, which was ‘notably high’. In the West of Dorset, the level at the Kingston Russell borehole, on 12/09/2017, was 105.760 metres above sea level (mAOD).

First from education, next from running a Diocesan Retreat House, and then 3 years ago, from ministry. Not a rec- ord, perhaps, but retirement suggests slippers and leisurely cups of tea in the garden. Why doesn’t it work like that in reality? I still seem to be happily busy – taking services, occupied with voluntary work, singing in choirs, taking music lessons, and having a wonderful social life! But there is a cautionary note. A recent health scare caused me to con- sider – as one frequently does at a certain age – my own mortality. Death holds no perils, but I’m just not ready for it yet, so I thought I’d write my- self a letter and share it with you, as you may be in the same situation.

  • Motcombe Neighbourhood Plan 2017 to 2027 Regulation 16 Consultation
    Motcombe Neighbourhood Plan 2017 to 2027 Regulation 16 Consultation Dorset Council Response Dorset Council (DC) welcomes receipt of the submission version of the Motcombe Neighbourhood Plan. The Council is aware of the various consultation events held within the local community to identify issues and draw conclusions, and in this context seeks to provide constructive comments on the finalisation of the Plan. For ease of reference, comments are set out according to the policies of the submission version of the neighbourhood plan. Some comments may cover more than one topic and should be seen in this context. The comments made in this response should not be seen as exhaustive and the officers continue to encourage an on-going dialogue with the Neighbourhood Plan Group and the Qualifying Body. General Comments: The submission version of the Plan appropriately seeks to deal with issues of a local nature including the built and natural environment, the local economy and a proposed allocation to meet local housing needs. Detailed Comments: Page 1, Map The map misses the northern most tip of the parish boundary. Also, parts of the parish boundary are difficult to distinguish as they are drawn in blue (the same colour as the flood zone). Suggest amending the map to correct these issues. Page 13, Map Suggest showing the Gillingham Royal Forest area as this is referred to by Policy MOT5. Page 14, Policy MOT6 We suggest that the second paragraph should clarify that it only applies in cases where development requires planning permission (i.e. permitted development schemes can’t have additional requirements imposed).
