  • Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies: Maiden Newton & South Perrott Traffic in Rural Settlements
    DORSET AREA OF OUTSTANDING NaturaL BeautY Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies: Maiden Newton & South Perrott Traffic in Rural Settlements DORSET AREA Of OUTSTANDING Natural Beauty Traffic and Rural Settlements Pilot Studies – Maiden Newton & South Perrott IntroduCTION These notes build on a series of events organized and commissioned by the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in early 2009. These aimed to explore the potential for addressing the quality of the built and natural environment in rural areas in the context of Dorset’s Rural Roads Protocol. The Dorset AONB has played a key role in helping develop the Protocol alongside Dorset County Council and its other partners. The pilot studies for two villages in the west of the County add to existing studies in the Piddle Valley, and are intended to help explore and develop a range of ideas for communities located on busier A and B roads. Both communities involved in the pilot studies have carried out surveys through their Parish Councils to gather views and opinions about their respective communities. The great majority of concerns centre around traffic, and the detrimental effects associated with vehicles. Typically these include concerns about speed, safety, and the comfort of pedestrians. There are also concerns about the barriers caused by busy roads, the difficulties for cyclists, and actual or potential damage to buildings and structures. Noise and vibrations are also a problem, as well as the deterioration in the coherence, character and quality of the rural built environment. Such issues are not unique to Dorset. Almost every settlement in the country situated on busy roads suffers similar problems.
