JW reported good progress since the previous meeting. ITEM 2: Short Updates from Board members re AONB opportunities/issues NT : RR informed the board of Helen Mann’s secondment: due to return in early 2017. He described the developing NT hillforts project to get those in their management in good archaeological and ecological condition with suitable access, and act as an exemplar for neighbouring landowners. Marie McLeish (p/t with AONB Team) has been appointed as p/t Project Officer to develop the project for NT’s internal procedures. NFU: RL mentioned Dorset Studio School at Kingston Maurward College (the only land based secondary school in the country) and the potential for Dorset AONB to work with them. PHN: Consultation on Purbeck Heritage Strategy complete; the final draft will focus on heritage priorities to mandate organisations to resource and take action. Final draft going to PDC committee shortly. DCC : HC mentioned the recent DCC Growth & Overview Scrutiny Committee received a presentation by on the potential for the Dorset & East Devon National Park; its decision was to keep this under review. There followed some discussion of the proposal. PS emphasised congratulations to the team working on the ESIF Low Carbon Dorset programme. He also described work with Dorset Waste Partnership on biomass / compost and how this could create energy and reduce waste. Also considering management of roadside verges and opportunities to create fuel in this way which would have additional benefits to AONB. Dorset Councils : Local Plan reviews: WD & W&P – about to agree consultation issues & options that will go out to 2 month public consultation in February 2017 and will look at options for development in the longer term. Will look at locations for future growth in North Dorset next. Has implications for the AONB as 70% of WD is AONB. Inspector’s comments on the previous iteration has urged that development be targeted at locations outside the AONB. WDDC & WPBC have acknowledged the National Park proposal and endorse the position to keep it under review. NE: IA described progress on Rampisham Down solar development; NE, AONB & Historic England approaching an agreement with the developer for an acceptable scheme in exceptional circumstances; the proposal is to be determined by WDDC shortly. IA described progress on Wild Purbeck and NE effort on planning in Purbeck. He also described NE process for National Park designation; this work being undertaken by a small team currently 2 occupied on AONB boundary amendments in Suffolk. NE are likely to review the remaining list of potential landscape designation work when the commitments in Suffolk have completed. ML added that several Countryside Stewardship applications have been approved for a January 2017 start including that for DCC’s Durlston Castle estate. JCWHS : SK described team transition to Jurassic Coast Trust, with the likelihood that the visitor management elements will be delivered from a position in the Dorset AONB team. Other news includes proposals within the Dorset Coastal Communities Fund bid for interpretation/access work at West Bay & Fossil Forest; ‘Dippy’ the National History Museum’s famous Diplodocus skeleton is on tour arriving in Dorset County Museum in 2018. PDC: AT & PW described a PDC Policy Development Panel’s work examining the implications of a National Park designation on the authority. PW described the Local Plan’s Partial Review, consultation on which attracted an unprecedented level of response (with 98% objection to development proposals). He described the very difficult position PDC are in with high levels of housing delivery required by HM Government against a very highly designated landscape and large public resistance. Financial changes also mean LAs will become more reliant on New Homes Bonus for funding core services; this can only arise from potentially unsustainable levels of housing permitted. CLA: RBe spoke of the CLA & NFU’s work on a post-Brexit UK Agricultural Policy covering agriculture, food and the farmed environment. CLA & NFU recognise the public demand for well-integrated environmental protection and incentives to deliver environmental goods within this. RB also mentioned that the CLA had received presentations from the National Park campaign, at which much support was expressed for the existing AONB designation. EA: BR described EA’s engagement in a judicial review being brought by a consortium of NGOs to examine if the EA is acting to the best of its abilities to tackle diffuse pollution and address water quality issues. This could have specific implications for the Poole Harbour catchment including possible water protection zones and mandated land management changes. The Catchment Partnership will be the main conduit for consultation and development should this need arise. Dorset LNP: JW announced the LNP’s ratification of a position paper on health which features Stepping into Nature as a case study http://www.dorsetlnp.org.uk/hres/Natural-Health-Position-Paper.pdf ITEM 3: Delivery of the AONB Management Plan The AONB Team presented on delivery highlighting: • Planning matters: RBr reported on Rampisham Down and a gas power station application at Hawkchurch (since withdrawn); successful discussions with developers to reduce impacts of a solar scheme at Owermoigne (since approved); Western Power proposals to underground local distribution power cables – 2 proposals going to next stage are in the village of Loders, and between Powerstock and West Milton. • MM reported on community involvement in research, monuments at risk and schools festival linked to the Inside Out Festival.
