Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan (LMNP) Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan (LMNP) Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan to 2031 Neighbourhood Plan Vision To retain the essence of village life in a growing community and to deliver high quality infrastructure and amenities The Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan (LMNP) has been prepared by the Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Planning Group (LMNPG) with assistance from HLF Planning Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan (LMNP) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lytchett Matravers Parish Council wants the people from the village to have the opportunity of a voice in how their village will grow and develop over the plan period to 2031. The intention is to provide a plan describing the community’s vision for the future of the parish, where we should invest for the future of the village and to provide village residents with a voice in the planning process. The Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan (LMNP) seeks to establish a vision for the village and surrounding areas that is based on the thoughts and aspirations of its residents. It is a critical aspect of the Plan process that all residents have had an opportunity to contribute and share their ideas. This Plan will only work if it reflects the central thoughts of the majority of residents. We know that our ideas will be subject to national and district policies, which will continue to change from time to time, but the village needs a clear set of objectives in order to deal with that changing environment. Without those clear objectives we will not have the focus to achieve our target.

National Planning Policy Framework – an extract 1. What is a Neighbourhood Plan? Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area. 2. What can communities use Neighbourhood Planning for? Local communities can choose to: set planning policies through a neighbourhood plan that is used in determining planning applications. grant planning permission through ‘Neighbourhood Development Orders’ or ‘Community Right to Build Orders’ for specific development which complies with the order. Neighbourhood planning is not a legal requirement, but a right which communities in England can choose to use. Communities may decide that they could achieve the same objectives through other planning routes, such as incorporating their proposals for the neighbourhood into their local district plan. e.g. Purbeck Local Plan Part 1 (2012). Communities and local planning authorities should

The main principle of admission to Lytchett Minster School is to maintain the character of the school as a comprehensive school, providing for the needs of young people within the 11-18 age range living in our priority admission areas defined below and attending a named feeder school. We have a separate admission policy for the sixth form. Admission to our school is not dependent on any ‘voluntary’ contribution. The school will endeavour to provide places for students who live outside the priority admission areas and who do not attend a feeder school whose parents wish them to attend Lytchett Minster School provided they can be accommodated within the admission limits. Students will be admitted at the age of 11+ without reference to ability or aptitude using the criteria below. The admission number/limit into Year 7 will be 260. The school participates in the Local Authority co-ordinated scheme and all deadlines within that should be adhered to by applicants. As required by the School Admissions Code 2011, the school will give top priority to applications on behalf of children who are ‘looked after’. A ‘child who is looked after’ (CLA) is a child who is in the care of a local authority or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions.
